NAME

|
----
|
|
git-archimport - Import an Arch repository into GIT
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
`git-archimport` [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -T ] [ -t tempdir ]
|
|
<archive/branch> [ <archive/branch> ]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
|
|
and repositories within the namespaces defined by the <archive/branch>
|
|
parameters suppplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
|
|
it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it
|
|
as a merge whenever possible (see discussion below).
|
|
|
|
The script expects you to provide the key roots where it can start the import
|
|
from an 'initial import' or 'tag' type of Arch commit. It will follow and import
|
|
new branches within the provided roots.
|
|
|
|
It expects to be dealing with one project only. If it sees
|
|
branches that have different roots, it will refuse to run. In that case, edit your
|
|
<archive/branch> parameters to define clearly the scope of the import.
|
|
|
|
`git-archimport` uses `tla` extensively in the background to access the Arch repository.
|
|
Make sure you have a recent version of `tla` available in the path. `tla` must
|
|
know about the repositories you pass to `git-archimport`.
|
|
|
|
For the initial import `git-archimport` expects to find itself in an empty
|
|
directory. To follow the development of a project that uses Arch, rerun
|
|
`git-archimport` with the same parameters as the initial import to perform incremental imports.
|
|
|
|
MERGES
|
|
------
|
|
Patch merge data from Arch is used to mark merges in GIT as well. GIT
|
|
does not care much about tracking patches, and only considers a merge when a
|
|
branch incorporates all the commits since the point they forked. The end result
|
|
is that GIT will have a good idea of how far branches have diverged. So the
|
|
import process does lose some patch-trading metadata.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, when you try and merge branches imported from Arch,
|
|
GIT will find a good merge base, and it has a good chance of identifying
|
|
patches that have been traded out-of-sequence between the branches.
