-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Imports a SVN repository into git. It will either create a new
-repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.
-
-SVN access is done by the SVN::Perl module.
-
-git-svnimport assumes that SVN repositories are organized into one
-"trunk" directory where the main development happens, "branches/FOO"
-directories for branches, and "/tags/FOO" directories for tags.
-Other subdirectories are ignored.
-
-git-svnimport creates a file ".git/svn2git", which is required for
-incremental SVN imports.
-
-OPTIONS
--------
--C <target-dir>::
- The GIT repository to import to. If the directory doesn't
- exist, it will be created. Default is the current directory.
-
--s <start_rev>::
- Start importing at this SVN change number. The default is 1.
-+
-When importing incrementally, you might need to edit the .git/svn2git file.
-
--i::
- Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing. This option
- ensures the working directory and index remain untouched and will
- not create them if they do not exist.
-
--T <trunk_subdir>::
- Name the SVN trunk. Default "trunk".
-
--t <tag_subdir>::
- Name the SVN subdirectory for tags. Default "tags".
-
--b <branch_subdir>::
- Name the SVN subdirectory for branches. Default "branches".
-
--o <branch-for-HEAD>::
- The 'trunk' branch from SVN is imported to the 'origin' branch within
- the git repository. Use this option if you want to import into a
- different branch.
-
--r::
- Prepend 'rX: ' to commit messages, where X is the imported
- subversion revision.
-
--u::
- Replace underscores in tag names with periods.
-
--I <ignorefile_name>::
- Import the svn:ignore directory property to files with this
- name in each directory. (The Subversion and GIT ignore
- syntaxes are similar enough that using the Subversion patterns
- directly with "-I .gitignore" will almost always just work.)
-
--A <author_file>::
- Read a file with lines on the form
-+
-------
- username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>
-
-------
-+
-and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT
-author and committer for Subversion commits made by
-"username". If encountering a commit made by a user not in the
-list, abort.
-+
-For convenience, this data is saved to $GIT_DIR/svn-authors
-each time the -A option is provided, and read from that same
-file each time git-svnimport is run with an existing GIT
-repository without -A.
-
--m::
- Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
- will enable default regexes that try to capture the name source
- branch name from the commit message.
-
--M <regex>::
- Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message with a custom
- regex. It can be used with -m to also see the default regexes.
- You must escape forward slashes.
-
--l <max_rev>::
- Specify a maximum revision number to pull.
-+
-Formerly, this option controlled how many revisions to pull,
-due to SVN memory leaks. (These have been worked around.)
-
--R <repack_each_revs>::
- Specify how often git repository should be repacked.
-+
-The default value is 1000. git-svnimport will do imports in chunks of 1000
-revisions, after each chunk the git repository will be repacked. To disable
-this behavior specify some large value here which is greater than the number of
-revisions to import.
-
--P <path_from_trunk>::
- Partial import of the SVN tree.
-+
-By default, the whole tree on the SVN trunk (/trunk) is imported.
-'-P my/proj' will import starting only from '/trunk/my/proj'.
-This option is useful when you want to import one project from a
-svn repo which hosts multiple projects under the same trunk.
-
--v::
- Verbosity: let 'svnimport' report what it is doing.
-
--d::
- Use direct HTTP requests if possible. The "<path>" argument is used
- only for retrieving the SVN logs; the path to the contents is
- included in the SVN log.
-
--D::
- Use direct HTTP requests if possible. The "<path>" argument is used
- for retrieving the logs, as well as for the contents.
-+
-There's no safe way to automatically find out which of these options to
-use, so you need to try both. Usually, the one that's wrong will die
-with a 40x error pretty quickly.
-
-<SVN_repository_URL>::
- The URL of the SVN module you want to import. For local
- repositories, use "file:///absolute/path".
-+
-If you're using the "-d" or "-D" option, this is the URL of the SVN
-repository itself; it usually ends in "/svn".
-
-<path>::
- The path to the module you want to check out.
-
--h::
- Print a short usage message and exit.
-
-OUTPUT
-------
-If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing.
-
-Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with
-a zero exit status.
