Simple bash scripts to import svn repository into a git "bare" repository. 1. Run svn-authors.sh to generate an authors-file for git 2. Run the svn-to-git.sh script 3. Copy the new "bare" repo somewhere 4. Clone your new "bare" repo and start working Both scripts can be run without arguments to print out a usage line.

svn-authors.sh

#!/bin/sh
 
# Url for the svn repo, example: svn://svn.domain.com/libs/libaes/trunk
SVN_URL=$1
SVN_TEMP_DIR=tempsvn
 
if [ -z $SVN_URL ]
then
    echo "Not enough arguments..\n"
    echo "Usage: ./svn-authors.sh svn-url [> authors.txt]"
    exit
fi
 
svn checkout ${SVN_URL} ${SVN_TEMP_DIR} >> /dev/null
cd ${SVN_TEMP_DIR}
svn log -q | awk -F '|' '/^r/ {sub("^ ", "", $2); sub(" $", "", $2); print $2" = "$2" <"$2">"}' | sort -u
cd ..
rm -rf ${SVN_TEMP_DIR}

svn-to-git.sh

#!/bin/sh
 
# Url for the svn repo, example: svn://svn.domain.com/libs/libaes/ (without trunk. This script assumes standard layout in url, ie trunk, tags, branches)
SVN_URL=$1
 
# New git repo name.
GIT_NAME=$2
 
# Authors file. Should be a textfile containing names in the following format:
#
# rts = Rasmus Styrk <rasmus@appvaerk.dk>
# svn-name = Real Name <email@example.com>
#
AUTHORS_FILE=$3
 
# Other configuration stuff
NEW_NAME=${GIT_NAME}.git

if [ -z $SVN_URL ] || [ -z $GIT_NAME ] || [ -z $AUTHORS_FILE ]
then
    echo "Not enough arguments. Needs all 3.\n"
