Converting Zope SVN repositories to Git

This process has one critical flaw and you probably don't want to use it. git-svn is simpler.

You need:

• svn-all-fast-export (from the Debian/Ubuntu package of the same name;

# Todo:
#   - Encode format for each message and reply with ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS
#   - starting server when already started doesn't work properly. PID file is not changed, no error messsage is displayed.
#   - Delete channel if last user leaves.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.
#
# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.
