The preupgrade hosted project is using bzr - it was a bit of an experiment at the time, but it's obvious that git is the One True Way now. So I'd like to migrate the source repo over to git.
I want to preserve the history too, but there's not a really obvious 'git-bzrimport' tool, so I'm not sure how that works.
Okay, so I did some research - apparently the best way to do this is to install the bzr-fastimport plugins, from here: https://code.launchpad.net/bzr-fastimport/
This adds a 'bzr fast-export' command which can be uses with git fast-import to populate a new git repo.
Dunno if you want to handle this server-side, but if not, all I need is a git repo for preupgrade and I can probably do the rest.
To be clear: can someone create a git repo for preupgrade?
If you'd like to also do the import from bzr, I'd appreciate it, but if not I'll do it myself.
I'm really sorry, the backlog has just piled up again L(
I've made a git repo for preupgrade, ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/preupgrade.git. I've made it owned by the bzrpreupgrade group, we'll get that renamed when the bzr repo is no more.
I don't know if anyone before tried Tailor http://progetti.arstecnica.it/tailor ? seems like a tool made for fedorahosted :)
Do you guys still need a bzr import into git ?[[BR]] I can see recent commit in both bzr and git. Will moved to git and Seth is still working on bzr.
the bzr work was my fault- I went by what was on the web page not what is actively being used.
Can this be closed?
