# `cd` into the svn directory
svn log -q | awk -F '|' '/^r/ {sub("^ ", "", $2); sub(" $", "", $2); print $2" = "$2" <"$2">"}' | sort -u > authors.txt

# translate the svn usernames
#   cma = cma <cma>

# create a directory for the git project
# move the authors.txt into the new directory
# `cd` into the new directory

git svn clone [SVN repo URL] --no-metadata -A authors.txt --stdlayout ./
