SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-svnimport' [ -o <branch-for-HEAD> ] [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -d | -D ]
- [ -C <GIT_repository> ] [ -i ] [ -u ] [-l limit_nr_changes]
+ [ -C <GIT_repository> ] [ -i ] [ -u ] [-l limit_rev]
[ -b branch_subdir ] [ -t trunk_subdir ] [ -T tag_subdir ]
[ -s start_chg ] [ -m ] [ -M regex ]
<SVN_repository_URL> [ <path> ]
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.
