Set the 'rewriteUUID' option in the [svn-remote] config.
---username=<USER>;;
+--username=<user>;;
For transports that SVN handles authentication for (http,
https, and plain svn), specify the username. For other
transports (eg svn+ssh://), you must include the username in

---use-log-author;;
- When retrieving svn commits into git (as part of fetch, rebase, or
- dcommit operations), look for the first From: or Signed-off-by: line
- in the log message and use that as the author string.
---add-author-from;;
- When committing to svn from git (as part of commit or dcommit
- operations), if the existing log message doesn't already have a
- From: or Signed-off-by: line, append a From: line based on the
- git commit's author string. If you use this, then --use-log-author
- will retrieve a valid author string for all commits.
-
'clone'::
Runs 'init' and 'fetch'. It will automatically create a
directory based on the basename of the URL passed to it;
Using this option for any other purpose (don't ask) is very strongly
discouraged.
+--mergeinfo=<mergeinfo>;;
+ Add the given merge information during the dcommit
+ (e.g. `--mergeinfo="/branches/foo:1-10"`). All svn server versions can
+ store this information (as a property), and svn clients starting from
+ version 1.5 can make use of it. 'git svn' currently does not use it
+ and does not set it automatically.
+
'branch'::
Create a branch in the SVN repository.
Only used with the 'init' command.
These are passed directly to 'git init'.
--r <ARG>::
---revision <ARG>::
+-r <arg>::
+--revision <arg>::
Used with the 'fetch' command.
+
This allows revision ranges for partial/cauterized history
For 'branch' and 'tag', display the urls that will be used for copying when
creating the branch or tag.
+--use-log-author::
+ When retrieving svn commits into git (as part of 'fetch', 'rebase', or
+ 'dcommit' operations), look for the first `From:` or `Signed-off-by:` line
+ in the log message and use that as the author string.
+--add-author-from::
+ When committing to svn from git (as part of 'commit-diff', 'set-tree' or 'dcommit'
+ operations), if the existing log message doesn't already have a
+ `From:` or `Signed-off-by:` line, append a `From:` line based on the
+ git commit's author string. If you use this, then `--use-log-author`
+ will retrieve a valid author string for all commits.

ADVANCED OPTIONS
----------------
reports and archives. If you plan to eventually migrate from SVN to git
and are certain about dropping SVN history, consider
linkgit:git-filter-branch[1] instead. filter-branch also allows
-reformating of metadata for ease-of-reading and rewriting authorship
+reformatting of metadata for ease-of-reading and rewriting authorship
info for non-"svn.authorsFile" users.
svn.useSvmProps::
where the original UUID is not available via either useSvmProps
or useSvnsyncProps.
+svn-remote.<name>.pushurl::
+
+ Similar to git's 'remote.<name>.pushurl', this key is designed
+ to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN repository
+ via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate read/write
+ transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
+ repository. Unlike 'commiturl', 'pushurl' is a base path. If
+ either 'commiturl' or 'pushurl' could be used, 'commiturl'
+ takes precedence.
+
svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround::
This disables potentially expensive checks to workaround
broken symlinks checked into SVN by broken clients. Set this
cd project
git init
git remote add origin server:/pub/project
- git config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'
+ git config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch '+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'
git fetch
+# Prevent fetch/pull from remote git server in the future,
+# we only want to use git svn for future updates
+ git config --remove-section remote.origin
# Create a local branch from one of the branches just fetched
git checkout -b master FETCH_HEAD
# Initialize 'git svn' locally (be sure to use the same URL and -T/-b/-t options as were used on server)
