How to move commits between repositories?

Question

I have a bunch of commits applied to SVN repository, now I need to move them to git repository. I was thinking of applying the commits one by one using patches, but those patches use relative path that differs in both repositories, eg /trunk/project/src/main/java/... in svn and /project/src/main/java/... in git is there a way to create patches that have relative path to src/main, not trunk/project/src....

Answer 2

您应该使用svn clone

git svn clone <SVN_REPOSITORY_URL>

Answer 3

git svn doesn't work for me, it fails with some nasty errors: /usr/lib/perl/.... So I figured this issue the following way using IntelliJ IDEA:

1. apply patches one by one
2. in apply patch window I changed the folder hierarchy for each file in the initial commit
3. changed the folder to the git folder.

But this approach is time-consuming

Answer 4

Have you try svn2git ? It's really a powerful tool based on git-svn. I have moved lots of svn repos to git repos using it. You may have a try to see if the perl error is still there.
