hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [REVMAP]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accepted source formats [identifiers]:
|
|
|
- Mercurial [hg]
|
|
|
- CVS [cvs]
|
|
|
- Darcs [darcs]
|
|
|
- git [git]
|
|
|
- Subversion [svn]
|
|
|
- Monotone [mtn]
|
|
|
- GNU Arch [gnuarch]
|
|
|
- Bazaar [bzr]
|
|
|
- Perforce [p4]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accepted destination formats [identifiers]:
|
|
|
- Mercurial [hg]
|
|
|
- Subversion [svn] (history on branches is not preserved)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no revision is given, all revisions will be converted.
|
|
|
Otherwise, convert will only import up to the named revision
|
|
|
(given in a format understood by the source).
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the
|
|
|
basename of the source with '-hg' appended. If the destination
|
|
|
repository doesn't exist, it will be created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, all sources except Mercurial will use
|
|
|
--branchsort. Mercurial uses --sourcesort to preserve original
|
|
|
revision numbers order. Sort modes have the following effects:
|
|
|
--branchsort: convert from parent to child revision when
|
|
|
possible, which means branches are usually converted one after
|
|
|
the other. It generates more compact repositories.
|
|
|
--datesort: sort revisions by date. Converted repositories have
|
|
|
good-looking changelogs but are often an order of magnitude
|
|
|
larger than the same ones generated by --branchsort.
|
|
|
--sourcesort: try to preserve source revisions order, only
|
|
|
supported by Mercurial sources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If <REVMAP> isn't given, it will be put in a default location
|
|
|
(<dest>/.hg/shamap by default). The <REVMAP> is a simple text file
|
|
|
that maps each source commit ID to the destination ID for that
|
|
|
revision, like so:
|
|
|
<source ID> <destination ID>
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the file doesn't exist, it's automatically created. It's
|
|
|
updated on each commit copied, so convert-repo can be interrupted
|
|
|
and can be run repeatedly to copy new commits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [username mapping] file is a simple text file that maps each
|
|
|
source commit author to a destination commit author. It is handy
|
|
|
for source SCMs that use unix logins to identify authors (eg:
|
|
|
CVS). One line per author mapping and the line format is:
|
|
|
srcauthor=whatever string you want
|
|
|
|
|
|
The filemap is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files
|
|
|
and directories. Comment lines start with '#'. Each line can
|
|
|
contain one of the following directives:
|
|
|
|
|
|
include path/to/file
|
|
|
|
|
|
exclude path/to/file
|
|
|
|
|
|
rename from/file to/file
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'include' directive causes a file, or all files under a
|
|
|
directory, to be included in the destination repository, and the
|
|
|
exclusion of all other files and directories not explicitly included.
|
|
|
The 'exclude' directive causes files or directories to be omitted.
|
|
|
The 'rename' directive renames a file or directory. To rename from
|
|
|
a subdirectory into the root of the repository, use '.' as the
|
|
|
path to rename to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The splicemap is a file that allows insertion of synthetic
|
|
|
history, letting you specify the parents of a revision. This is
|
|
|
useful if you want to e.g. give a Subversion merge two parents, or
|
|
|
graft two disconnected series of history together. Each entry
|
|
|
contains a key, followed by a space, followed by one or two
|
|
|
comma-separated values. The key is the revision ID in the source
|
|
|
revision control system whose parents should be modified (same
|
|
|
format as a key in .hg/shamap). The values are the revision IDs
|
|
|
(in either the source or destination revision control system) that
|
|
|
should be used as the new parents for that node.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The branchmap is a file that allows you to rename a branch when it is
|
|
|
being brought in from whatever external repository. When used in
|
|
|
conjunction with a splicemap, it allows for a powerful combination
|
|
|
to help fix even the most badly mismanaged repositories and turn them
|
|
|
into nicely structured Mercurial repositories. The branchmap contains
|
|
|
lines of the form "original_branch_name new_branch_name".
|
|
|
"original_branch_name" is the name of the branch in the source
|
|
|
repository, and "new_branch_name" is the name of the branch is the
|
|
|
destination repository. This can be used to (for instance) move code
|
|
|
in one repository from "default" to a named branch.

Mercurial Source
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
--config convert.hg.ignoreerrors=False (boolean)
|
|
|
ignore integrity errors when reading. Use it to fix Mercurial
|
|
|
repositories with missing revlogs, by converting from and to
|
|
|
Mercurial.
|
|
|
--config convert.hg.saverev=False (boolean)
|
|
|
store original revision ID in changeset (forces target IDs to
|
|
|
change)
|
|
|
--config convert.hg.startrev=0 (hg revision identifier)
|
|
|
convert start revision and its descendants
|
|
|
|
|
|
CVS Source
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
CVS source will use a sandbox (i.e. a checked-out copy) from CVS
|
|
|
to indicate the starting point of what will be converted. Direct
|
|
|
access to the repository files is not needed, unless of course the
|
|
|
repository is :local:. The conversion uses the top level directory
|
|
|
in the sandbox to find the CVS repository, and then uses CVS rlog
|
|
|
commands to find files to convert. This means that unless a
|
|
|
filemap is given, all files under the starting directory will be
|
|
|
converted, and that any directory reorganization in the CVS
|
|
|
sandbox is ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because CVS does not have changesets, it is necessary to collect
|
|
|
individual commits to CVS and merge them into changesets. CVS
|
|
|
source uses its internal changeset merging code by default but can
|
|
|
be configured to call the external 'cvsps' program by setting:
|
|
|
--config convert.cvsps='cvsps -A -u --cvs-direct -q'
|
|
|
This option is deprecated and will be removed in Mercurial 1.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The options shown are the defaults.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal cvsps is selected by setting
|
|
|
--config convert.cvsps=builtin
|
|
|
and has a few more configurable options:
|
|
|
--config convert.cvsps.cache=True (boolean)
|
|
|
Set to False to disable remote log caching, for testing and
|
|
|
debugging purposes.
|
|
|
--config convert.cvsps.fuzz=60 (integer)
|
|
|
Specify the maximum time (in seconds) that is allowed
|
|
|
between commits with identical user and log message in a
|
|
|
single changeset. When very large files were checked in as
|
|
|
part of a changeset then the default may not be long
|
|
|
enough.
|
|
|
--config convert.cvsps.mergeto='{{mergetobranch ([-\w]+)}}'
|
|
|
Specify a regular expression to which commit log messages
|
|
|
are matched. If a match occurs, then the conversion
|
|
|
process will insert a dummy revision merging the branch on
|
|
|
which this log message occurs to the branch indicated in
|
|
|
the regex.
|
|
|
--config convert.cvsps.mergefrom='{{mergefrombranch ([-\w]+)}}'
|
|
|
Specify a regular expression to which commit log messages
|
|
|
are matched. If a match occurs, then the conversion
|
|
|
process will add the most recent revision on the branch
|
|
|
indicated in the regex as the second parent of the
|
|
|
changeset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hgext/convert/cvsps wrapper script allows the builtin
|
|
|
changeset merging code to be run without doing a conversion. Its
|
|
|
parameters and output are similar to that of cvsps 2.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subversion Source
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subversion source detects classical trunk/branches/tags layouts.
|
|
|
By default, the supplied "svn://repo/path/" source URL is
|
|
|
converted as a single branch. If "svn://repo/path/trunk" exists it
|
|
|
replaces the default branch. If "svn://repo/path/branches" exists,
|
|
|
its subdirectories are listed as possible branches. If
|
|
|
"svn://repo/path/tags" exists, it is looked for tags referencing
|
|
|
converted branches. Default "trunk", "branches" and "tags" values
|
|
|
can be overridden with following options. Set them to paths
|
|
|
relative to the source URL, or leave them blank to disable auto
|
|
|
detection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--config convert.svn.branches=branches (directory name)
|
|
|
specify the directory containing branches
|
|
|
--config convert.svn.tags=tags (directory name)
|
|
|
specify the directory containing tags
|
|
|
--config convert.svn.trunk=trunk (directory name)
|
|
|
specify the name of the trunk branch
|
|
|
|
|
|
Source history can be retrieved starting at a specific revision,
|
|
|
instead of being integrally converted. Only single branch
|
|
|
conversions are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--config convert.svn.startrev=0 (svn revision number)
|
|
|
specify start Subversion revision.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perforce Source
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Perforce (P4) importer can be given a p4 depot path or a
|
|
|
client specification as source. It will convert all files in the
|
|
|
source to a flat Mercurial repository, ignoring labels, branches
|
|
|
and integrations. Note that when a depot path is given you then
|
|
|
usually should specify a target directory, because otherwise the
|
|
|
target may be named ...-hg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to limit the amount of source history to be
|
|
|
converted by specifying an initial Perforce revision.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--config convert.p4.startrev=0 (perforce changelist number)
|
|
|
specify initial Perforce revision.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mercurial Destination
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
--config convert.hg.clonebranches=False (boolean)
|
|
|

|
|
|
--config convert.hg.tagsbranch=default (branch name)
|
|
|
tag revisions branch name
|
|
|
--config convert.hg.usebranchnames=True (boolean)
|
|
|
preserve branch names
|
|
|
|
