Reminder to self on converting svn repos

gistfile1.sh

# Permanently move a subversion repos to git

# If you have tags and branch but never used them you can do this:
git svn clone -s --no-metadata --authors-file ~/git_resources/authors https://example.com/svn/repos
git remote add origin [email protected]:username/repo.git
git push -u origin master
# Don't forget to add a README.markdown file.
#
# optionally use git clone on the repository again, this will remove all the svn stuff from 
# .git/config file.  If you push to github all you need to do is do the initial push and then
# clone THAT repos to remove the subversion stuff as well as the reference to remote trunk branch


# If there are tags and branches, see:
#   http://pauldowman.com/2008/07/26/how-to-convert-from-subversion-to-git/
#   http://www.jonmaddox.com/2008/03/05/cleanly-migrate-your-subversion-repository-to-a-git-repository/
# Notably neither really mentions how to convert remote branches to local ones. But you can use
# svn2git: http://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git and if you have a small project can just look at source
# Also a perl version at http://github.com/schwern/svn2git
