SVN to Git

I've been using Git now for over two years. Previously, all my source control was handled with subversion (SVN). To be honest, I can't even remember how to use SVN. To be more honest, I cheated and used TortoiseSVN most of the time anyway.

Every so often I want to update an old website, but my repo is in SVN. I don't even have it installed anymore. So what do I do? I quickly convert it to Git.

Most of my important repos are stored on my Unfuddle account. Fortunately, they support both SVN & Git. I recently converted an SVN repo to Git. Here were the steps I took (I'm using Ubuntu).

mkdir svntemp
cd svntemp
git svn init http://myusername.unfuddle.com/svn/myusername_myrepo/ --no-metadata
git svn fetch

... wait for fetching ...

cd ..
mkdir newgitrepo
cd newgitrepoÂ
git init
git remote add origin git@myusername.unfuddle.com:myusername/myrepo.git
cp -R ../svntemp/trunk/* .
git add *
git commit -am "initial commit"
git push origin master

And I think we're done here. Now, back to coding!
