Migrating SVN (with no branches) to GIT on Debian based systems (all steps)

svn2git.sh

# ============================================================
# Author: Asim Zeeshan
# Web: http://asim.pk
# ============================================================
# Ensure you have SVN, GIT & GIT-SVN packages installed
# apt-get install subversion git git-svn
#
# NOTE: DO NOT TRY WITH "-no-metadata" SWITCH BECAUSE I RAN INTO MANY ISSUES WITH IT
# Lets Begin!

# ============================================================
# STEP 1: Get list of SVN Users
# ============================================================
svn log -q http://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo | grep -e '^r' | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "|" } ; { print $2 }' | sort | uniq > ~/authors

# NOTE: If it asks you for user/pass, do the following
# svn co http://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo
# provide you user/pass and when asked SAVE YOUR CREDENTIALS.
# Then run the commands above without issues

# ============================================================
# STEP 2: Start the conversion
# ============================================================
mkdir /home/tmp/
cd /home/tmp/
git svn init http://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo

# edit the file created in step1 and ensure its in the following format, do this for every username in that file
# nano ~/authors
# john_doe = John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
git config svn.authorsfile ~/authors
git svn fetch
git svn show-ignore >> .git/info/exclude
git svn rebase

# ============================================================
# STEP 3: Push everything over to a new & clean Git repo
# ============================================================
git config user.name "John Doe"
git config user.email "john.doe@example.com"
git remote add gitlab git@github.com:asimzeeshan/MyRepo.git
git push -u gitlab master

# ============================================================
# STEP 4: Commit empty directories
# ============================================================
find . -type d -regex ``./[^.].*'' -empty -exec touch {}"/.gitignore" \;
git add .
git commit -am "Adding empty directories"
git push -u gitlab master
