This page has the detailed steps used to convert the Lazarus SVN repro to git.


SubGIT

The initial conversion will be done using TMate Subgit.

Install

Unpack subgit to

   ~/subgit/subgit-3.3.11

Required

An author.txt file

 svn-name - git-name <email>

Run / main repro

   cd ~/subgit/subgit-3.3.11
   ./bin/subgit configure https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus laz.git
   
   gedit laz.git/subgit/config 

And add the following (the first line, replaces an existing setting)

   [svn]
     trunk = trunk:refs/heads/main
     gitCommitMessage = %message\\n\\n SVN %revision@%branch\\n
     
   [translate]  
     eols = false
     otherProperties = false
     ignores = false

The translate options prevent .gitignore and .gitattributes. Those can be translated, but will later be replaced...

   cp authors.txt laz.git/subgit/authors.txt
   ./bin/subgit install laz.git

Without skipping the gitignore/gitattributes, there will be an error at revision 47330. The process will hang. nterrupt it and editI

   lazarus.git/svn/.metadata

and set branches-maxRev and tags-maxRev to 47332 (it should be at 47330) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18918215/skip-revisions-when-installing-subgit-repository Continue with

   ./bin/subgit install laz-bin.git

Stop the daemon

   ./bin/subgit shutdown laz-bin.git/

Run / binaries repro

   ./bin/subgit configure https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus laz-bin.git
   gedit laz.git/subgit/config 
     [svn]
     gitCommitMessage = %message\\n\\n SVN %revision@%branch\\n
     trunk = binaries:refs/heads/main
     cp authors.txt laz-bin.git/subgit/authors.txt

follow the steps above

Part 2

  • Updating gitignore
  • Prefixing all issue references with #
  • translating svn revisions to git hashes

Clean out left overs from subgit

   git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/svn/ | xargs -n 1 git update-ref -d

Clean left overs from binaries

There are a few tags, that lead to binaries (gdb.exe) ending up in the data

  git tag -d binaries_0_9_26
  git tag -d binaries_0_9_26_2
  git tag -d binaries_0_9_28
  git tag -d binaries_0_9_30
  git tag -d binaries_0_9_30_2
  git tag -d binaries_0_9_30_2RC1
  git tag -d binaries_1_0

Updating gitignore/gitattributes / Prefix issues with #

The below combines the 2 steps. It can be run in 2 separate calls.

It will run for about one hour.

   FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING=1 git filter-branch --index-filter '  cp ~/subgit/subgit-3.3.11/.gitignore  ~/subgit/subgit-3.3.11/.gitattributes . ; git add .gitignore .gitattributes '  --msg-filter ' perl -ne "while (s/((?:iss?ues?|[ (](?:bugs?|mantis|fix|fixes|patch)\b)(?: +id)?[ :]+(?:#?0*[1-9][0-9]{2,4}(?: *(?:[ ,]| and ) *))*)(0*[1-9][0-9]{2,4})\b/\1#\2/i) {}; print" ' -f  -- --all


Cleanup

   git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/original/ | xargs -n 1 git update-ref -d
   git reflog expire --expire=now --all ;git gc --prune=now


Translating references to svn rev (r12345) to #hash

Comparing data before/after filter-branch

With subject line / Will show changes in subject

   git log --pretty='format:%ae %an %cd  %s %d' --graph --all > ../log.txt

Without subject line / Should have no diff

   git log --pretty='format:%ae %an %cd %d' --graph --all > ../log.txt


Make sure you do that after "clean up" in each step.

Also "removing the binaries" introduces a diff.
