2019-09-18contrib/svn-fe: fix shebang for svnrdump_sim.pyLibravatar Clément Chigot1-1/+1
The shebang for a python script should be "/usr/bin/env python" and not "/usr/bin/python". On some OSes like AIX, python default path is not under "/usr/bin" ("/opt/freeware/bin" for AIX). Note the main reason behind this change is that AIX rpm will add a dependency on "/usr/bin/python" instead of "/usr/bin/env".

2019-09-05Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branchLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+2
filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes). Many of these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the new repository is in use. This can result in problems ranging from an even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first place, to data loss or corruption. These issues cannot be backward compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead. Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch. Several of these needed updates even if we could continue recommending filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more commonly known examples now existing. Reword these sections to fix these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch. Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an alternative to filter-branch. I feel somewhat bad about this, especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems: * In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that can handle all the same types of rewrites. To my knowledge, filter-repo is the only such tool. So it needs to be mentioned. * I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users * If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than the other. * BFG and filter-repo have similar performance * All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do. In fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in BFG due to its technical underpinnings. While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it is just better to remove that section altogether.

2012-10-07Add a svnrdump-simulator replaying a dump file for testingLibravatar Florian Achleitner1-0/+53
To ease testing without depending on a reachable svn server, this compact python script mimics parts of svnrdumps behaviour. It requires the remote url to start with sim://. Start and end revisions are evaluated. If the requested revision doesn't exist, as it is the case with incremental imports, if no new commit was added, it returns 1 (like svnrdump). To allow using the same dump file for simulating multiple incremental imports, the highest revision can be limited by setting the environment variable SVNRMAX to that value. This simulates the situation where higher revs don't exist yet.

2012-10-07remote-svn: add incremental importLibravatar Florian Achleitner1-1/+2
Search for a note attached to the ref to update and read it's 'Revision-number:'-line. Start import from the next svn revision. If there is no next revision in the svn repo, svnrdump terminates with a message on stderr an non-zero return value. This looks a little weird, but there is no other way to know whether there is a new revision in the svn repo. On the start of an incremental import, the parent of the first commit in the fast-import stream is set to the branch name to update. All following commits specify their parent by a mark number. Previous mark files are currently not reused.

2012-10-07remote-svn, vcs-svn: Enable fetching to private refsLibravatar Florian Achleitner1-1/+1
The reference to update by the fast-import stream is hard-coded. When fetching from a remote the remote-helper shall update refs in a private namespace, i.e. a private subdir of refs/. This namespace is defined by the 'refspec' capability, that the remote-helper advertises as a reply to the 'capabilities' command. Extend svndump and fast-export to allow passing the target ref. Update svn-fe to be compatible. Signed-off-by: Florian Achleitner <florian.achleitner.2.6.31@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Michael Barr <b@rr-dav.id.au> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-05-26vcs-svn: implement text-delta handlingLibravatar David Barr1-4/+1
Handle input in Subversion's dumpfile format, version 3. This is the format produced by "svnrdump dump" and "svnadmin dump --deltas", and the main difference between v3 dumpfiles and the dumpfiles already handled is that these can include nodes whose properties and text are expressed relative to some other node. To handle such nodes, we find which node the text and properties are based on, handle its property changes, use the cat-blob command to request the basis blob from the fast-import backend, use the svndiff0_apply() helper to apply the text delta on the fly, writing output to a temporary file, and then measure that postimage file's length and write its content to the fast-import stream. The temporary postimage file is shared between delta-using nodes to avoid some file system overhead. The svn-fe interface needs to be more complicated to accomodate the backward flow of information from the fast-import backend to svn-fe. The backflow fd is not needed when parsing streams without deltas, though, so existing scripts using svn-fe on v2 dumps should continue to work.

2011-03-07vcs-svn: set up channel to read fast-import cat-blob responseLibravatar David Barr1-1/+5
Set up some plumbing: teach the svndump lib to pass a file descriptor number to the fast_export lib, representing where cat-blob/ls responses can be read from, and add a get_response_line helper function to the fast_export lib to read a line from that file. Unfortunately this means that svn-fe needs file descriptor 3 to be redirected from somewhere (preferrably the cat-blob stream of a fast-import backend); otherwise it will fail: $ svndump <path> | svn-fe fatal: cannot read from file descriptor 3: Bad file descriptor For the moment, "svn-fe 3</dev/null" works as a workaround but it will not work for very long. A fast-import backend that can retrieve old commits is needed in order to be able to fulfill svn "Node-copyfrom-rev" requests that refer to revs from a previous run.
