将未托管的SVN存储库迁移到GIT

Question

I have a SVN repository (1.6GB in size) which has just been provided to me by my client. The repository is not hosted and has been provided to me in a ZIP file format. How can I convert this to a GIT-BitBucket repo ?

All the answers I have found for migrating SVN to GIT needs the SVN repository to be hosted somewhere and then using svn git perform the migration, but this is just a zip file I have. I also want to maintain the history of commits and branches if possible.

What would be the best way to do this ?

Answer 1

You can host the svn on your own computer and then do the conversion instructions normally. The url for the server would then start with file:// instead of normal http:// or any similliar protocol

Answer 2

In a comment, you said that you have the repository itself, with the "trunk, branches, tags" folder. That is a checkout of the repository, not the actual repository. The root directory of a repository looks more like this:

drwxrwsr-x  2 svn svn 4096 Sep 29  2005 conf/
drwxrwsr-x  2 svn svn 4096 Sep 29  2005 dav/
drwxrwsr-x  6 svn svn 4096 Jun 23 02:31 db/
drwxr-xr-x  2 svn svn 4096 Jun 23 07:09 hooks/
drwxrwsr-x  2 svn svn 4096 Sep 29  2005 locks/
drwxr-sr-x  7 svn svn 4096 Feb  7  2008 tags/
-r--r--r--  1 svn svn  379 Sep 29  2005 README.txt
-r--r--r--  1 svn svn    2 Sep 29  2005 format

And the README.txt says something like this:

This is a Subversion repository; use the 'svnadmin' tool to examine
it.  Do not add, delete, or modify files here unless you know how
to avoid corrupting the repository.

If the directory "db" contains a Berkeley DB environment,
you may need to tweak the values in "db/DB_CONFIG" to match the
requirements of your site.

Visit http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more information.

If you don't have that, then you don't have the repository.

(If it matters, the above is from a Subversion 1.8 repo, format 3.)
