SVN-ALL-FAST-EXPORT(1)
NAME
svn-all-fast-export - tool to convert svn repositories into git
SYNOPSIS
svn-all-fast-export [options] [Path to subversion repository]
DESCRIPTION
svn-all-fast-export is a tool to convert your svn repositories to git.
You will need to have a copy of your svn repository and to write some
rules to specify how the conversion will be done, for instance, you can
manage how the tags and branches will be managed writing the appropriate rules. You have examples in /usr/share/doc/svn-all-fast-export/samples
Path to subversion repository is a backup copy of the subversion repository. Note that an svn url will not work due to the undistributed
nature of svn.
OPTIONS
- --identity-map
- Provide map between svn username and email. You can provide a
file mapping the old svn accounts to the authors names. This
file must have a line per each svn account, you can use either
the svn-all-fast-export native format:
janesvnaccountname Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.com>
or the git-svn format:
janesvnaccountname = Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.com> - --rules
- The rules file that determines what goes where. See /usr/share/doc/svn-all-fast-export/samples

RETURN VALUES
This program returns 0 on success, on error something else (numbers in
base 10):

All matching rules need to end with a '/', else the tool will crash at some point. The only exception are the rules using the recurse-action.
