What is the correct way to convert SVN remote branches and tags into local Git branches/tags during SVN to Git migration?

For a one-shot operation like this, before leaving behind a SVN repo, I like to clone it using the ruby script svn2git.

For a one-shot operation like this, before leaving behind a SVN repo, I like to clone it using the ruby script svn2git === Examples Say I have this code in svn: trunk ... branches 1. X 2. X tags 1.0.0 1.0.1 1.0.2 1.1.0 2.0.0 git-svn will go through the commit history to build a new git repo.It will import all branches and tags as remote svn branches, whereas what you really want is git-native local branches and git tag objects.

So after importing this project I'll get: $ git branch * master $ git branch -a * master 1. X 2. X tags/1.0.0 tags/1.0.1 tags/1.0.2 tags/1.1.0 tags/2.0.0 trunk $ git tag -l empty After svn2git is done with your project, you'll get this instead: $ git branch * master 1.

X 2. X $ git tag -l 1.0.0 1.0.1 1.0.2 1.1.0 2.0.0.

Thanks, I looked at svn2git but didn't see an easy way to configure it to look for branches/tags in all the places that I mentioned in my config. What underlying commands does svn2git use to turn remote branches into local ones? – Bradley Jul 8 '10 at 18:39 @Bradley: any remote svn branch will be created as a local Git branch after that script is run.

The idea is not using a 'git-svn' clone, but making a new Git repo cloning the svn repo through the script. Leave your current Git repo (from the git-svn clone) aside. – VonC Jul 8 '10 at 18:48 1 Am I able to specify the varied branch/tag locations in the SVN repo that I mentioned in my .

Git/config file when running the script. – Bradley Jul 8 '10 at 19:35.

According to an answer on Git mailing list, I don't need to convert these branches into local ones before pushing them to my remote repo. I just need to do: git push svn/:refs/heads.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
