I need to migrate part of an SVN repo to git.
For example, the SVN root is: http://example.com/svn/project
and I need to migrate a project subdirectory like http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/foo/bare
.
I tried to use:
git svn clone http://example.com/svn/project \
-Ttrunk/foo/bare --no-metadata -A ~/authors-transform.txt ~/temp
After this command I get a git repo with two branches: trunk
and trunk@61
, but I need only one branch.
What do I need to do to get only one branch after migrating?
Delete the branch that you don't need, of course. But you'll loose the history before revision 61.
The trunk@61
exists because the directory you are importing was replaced. In a way that git svn does not see as continuation of history. Therefore it recorded the value of the ref at that revision and started again.
Since it's a one-off conversion, you can use graft to connect the history, filter-branch to rewrite it, so the graft file is not needed (see filter-branch documentation) and than delete the now useless branch.
