Pushing Git Repo into SVN

jeffg — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:14:00 GMT

The last time I hooked Git and SVN together, I first did all my set up work in SVN (Tortoise). Running git svn clone hooked things together. Since I love Git so much more than SVN, this seems a bit backwards so let's set things up the other way around.

cd c:

cd Develop

mkdir Project

cd Project

git init

git st //Shows that we are starting out on a branch called master

Open up VS2008, created my solution and projects

vi .gitignore //Add in my files to ignore

git add .

git ci

Open up Tortoise, create Project, Project/trunk, Project/branches, Project/tags //Wishing I didn't have to touch Tortoise... Advice?

git svn init https://central/svn/repos/Project -T trunk -b branches -t tags

git svn fetch

git co -b svn/import trunk

git merge master

git svn dcommit

Is there a better way? I'm not sure that git merge is the right way to go...
