hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [MAPFILE]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accepted source formats:
|
|
|
- Mercurial
|
|
|
- CVS
|
|
|
- Darcs
|
|
|
- git
|
|
|
- Subversion
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accepted destination formats:
|
|
|
- Mercurial
|
|
|
- Subversion (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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If <MAPFILE> isn't given, it will be put in a default location
|
|
|
(<dest>/.hg/shamap by default). The <MAPFILE> 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 dirs not explicitely 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.
