andrep / git-svn-clone-externals Goto Github PK

Hello,

Some of the projects I'm working on have more than one level of svn:externals.

projectA/
+projectB(svn:externals in projectA)/
.+projectC(svn:externals in projectB)/

It seems that git-svn-clone-externals does not make recursion, it could be a nice feature to add.

I'll try to give a shot at it, but i'm busy enough not to be able to add such a feature.

I had an issue in cloning large repositories. Took me a little while to track down (learned some more bash along the way), and I've created a fork which basically disables cloning the entire revision history for SVN externals. This allows large repos (like Symfony projects) to be cloned without waiting hours for everything to be indexed.

Just in case anybody had the same issue: https://github.com/MichaelMackus/git-svn-clone-externals

I tried the git-svn-clone-externals script right out of the repository on symfony right out of it's own svn repository and I got :

git reset --hard branches/1.0/lib
fatal: ambiguous argument 'branches/1.0/lib': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

if i have externals in subsubfolders of project script does not update them

I'm on Mac OS X, so perhaps it's related to that.

I had an SVN external that ended with a slash, e.g. /public/service_support/

When local_directory is assigned, the directory is cleaned up with sed to remove the first slash, but not the trailing slash, so it produces:

public/service_support/

This then fails in do_link because ln doesn't like the trailing slash.

To fix, I piped through a second sed command, like so:

local_directory="$(echo ${words[0]} | sed 's,^/,,' | sed 's,/$,,')"

error below:
git svn fetch --all
git reset --hard branches/foo
fatal: Failed to resolve 'branches/foo' as a valid ref.

Our svn repos need an username and password:

git svn clone https://... -T trunk -b branches -t tags Client/src/...
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/eilemann/Software/...
Authentication realm: https://...:443 Subversion
Password for 'eilemann':

Username:
Use of uninitialized value $username in chomp at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 4017, line 1.
error: git-svn died of signal 11

It appears as if git-svn-clone-externals doesn't work when the external specifies the revision to use:

  $ git-svn-clone-externals
  library/shindig/php/src -> 1094333
  git svn clone -r 1094333 library/shindig/php/src
  Using existing [svn-remote "svn"]
  svn-remote.svn.fetch already set to track :refs/remotes/git-svn

  $ git svn show-externals

  # /

  # /library/shindig/php/
  /library/shindig/php/src    -r 1094333    http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shindig/trunk/php/src

I'm having an issue that git-svn-clone-externals always fail with error:

svn_externals/http://svn/common/include/trunk@26 -> common/include
git svn fetch --all
Bad URL passed to RA layer: Illegal repository URL 'common/include' at /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1/Git/SVN.pm line 148.
...

I then ran the command git svn show-externals which produced the output:

/svn_externals/http://svn/common/include/trunk@26  common/include
/svn_externals/http://svn/crc/trunk@5567   crc
/svn_externals/http://svn/dualcores/trunk/mpc8641d/ella@3256  dualcores/mpc8641d/ella
...

svn version: 1.9.6
git version: 2.13.4

Thanks in advance,

When using "USE_SSH=yes" and having a svn:externals repository named "https" (for example), the bash substitution pattern for "svn+ssh" is replacing all matches with "svn+ssh".

say:
https://svn.repo.srv/svn/https/trunk
will be substitute with
svn+ssh://svn.repo.srv/svn/svn+ssh/trunk

The script seems to be parsing malformed URLs when I try on our repository.
