Satya's blog - Migrating a subversion repository to git

I used these instructions to migrate some svn repositories to git:
http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git
But I don't have the svn standard layout, with trunk/ branches/ and tags/, so I was able to skip several steps. My condensed flow was:

Retrieve a list of all Subversion committers:

svn log -q | \
awk -F '|' '/^r/ {sub("^ ", "", $2); sub(" $", "", $2); print $2" = "$2" <"$2">"}' \
| sort -u > authors-transform.txt

Edit that file as appropriate.

Clone the Subversion repository using git-svn: Here, I didn't use the --stdlayout argument:

git svn clone [SVN repo URL] --no-metadata -A authors-transform.txt ~/temp

Convert svn:ignore properties to .gitignore: Not required if you didn't have any svn:ignore properties

cd ~/temp
git svn show-ignore > .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m 'Convert svn:ignore properties to .gitignore.'

Push repository to a bare git repository: I didn't link HEAD to trunk, I linked it to git-svn:

git init --bare ~/new-bare.git
cd ~/new-bare.git
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/git-svn
cd ~/temp
git remote add bare ~/new-bare.git
git config remote.bare.push 'refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*'
git push bare

Then delete ~/temp

Rename git-svn to master (instead of renaming trunk):

cd ~/new-bare.git
git branch -m git-svn master

And, since I had no branches, just rename/move new-bare.git to the final resting place, and then clone it out.
