-i::
Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing. This option
- ensures the working directory and cache remain untouched and will
+ ensures the working directory and index remain untouched and will
not create them if they do not exist.
-t <trunk_subdir>::
regex. It can be used with -m to also see the default regexes.
You must escape forward slashes.
--l <max_num_changes>::
- Limit the number of SVN changesets we pull before quitting.
- This option is necessary because the SVN library has serious memory
- leaks; the recommended value for nontrivial imports is 100.
+-l <max_rev>::
+ Specify a maximum revision number to pull.
- git-svnimport will still exit with a zero exit code. You can check
- the size of the file ".git/svn2git" to determine whether to call
- the importer again.
+ Formerly, this option controlled how many revisions to pull, due to
+ SVN memory leaks. (These have been worked around.)
-v::
Verbosity: let 'svnimport' report what it is doing.
