git -> hg conversion script contrib/convert-repo changes: - do not print verbose output so that error messages are seen more easily - Output the date as integer and not as floating point number. - Do not require a ".git" subdirectory to work on, but use the GIT_DIR environment var to specify the git repository. Change is otherwise compatible to the current version and I have tested it by converting the kernel and several git respositories from kernel.org. (Btw, the udev test dir contains a /sys dir with entries which should not be normal dirs and not be normal files. ;-) Thanks again for mercurial, Florian La Roche --- a/contrib/convert-repo +++ b/contrib/convert-repo @@ -28,26 +28,18 @@ self.path = path def getheads(self): - h = file(self.path + "/.git/HEAD").read()[:-1] - return [h] + return [file(self.path + "/HEAD").read()[:-1]] def catfile(self, rev, type): if rev == "0" * 40: raise IOError() - path = os.getcwd() - os.chdir(self.path) - fh = os.popen("git-cat-file %s %s 2>/dev/null" % (type, rev)) - os.chdir(path) + fh = os.popen("GIT_DIR=%s git-cat-file %s %s 2>/dev/null" % (self.path, type, rev)) return fh.read() def getfile(self, name, rev): return self.catfile(rev, "blob") def getchanges(self, version): - path = os.getcwd() - os.chdir(self.path) - fh = os.popen("git-diff-tree --root -m -r %s" % (version)) - os.chdir(path) - + fh = os.popen("GIT_DIR=%s git-diff-tree --root -m -r %s" % (self.path, version)) changes = [] for l in fh: if "\t" not in l: continue @@ -83,9 +75,9 @@ def gettags(self): tags = {} - for f in os.listdir(self.path + "/.git/refs/tags"): + for f in os.listdir(self.path + "/refs/tags"): try: - h = file(self.path + "/.git/refs/tags/" + f).read().strip() + h = file(self.path + "/refs/tags/" + f).read().strip() tags[f] = h except: pass @@ -99,8 +91,7 @@ def getheads(self): h = self.repo.changelog.heads() - h = [ hg.hex(x) for x in h ] - return h + return [ hg.hex(x) for x in h ] def putfile(self, f, e, data): self.repo.wfile(f, "w").write(data) @@ -155,12 +146,12 @@ newlines.sort() if newlines != oldlines: - print "updating tags" + #print "updating tags" f = self.repo.wfile(".hgtags", "w") f.write("".join(newlines)) f.close() if not oldlines: self.repo.add([".hgtags"]) - date = "%s 0" % time.mktime(time.gmtime()) + date = "%s 0" % int(time.mktime(time.gmtime())) self.repo.rawcommit([".hgtags"], "update tags", "convert-repo", date, self.repo.changelog.tip(), hg.nullid) @@ -262,7 +253,7 @@ num -= 1 if c in self.map: continue desc = self.commitcache[c][3].splitlines()[0] - print num, desc + #print num, desc self.copy(c) tags = self.source.gettags() @@ -275,6 +266,8 @@ self.dest.puttags(ctags) gitpath, hgpath, mapfile = sys.argv[1:] +if os.path.isdir(gitpath + "/.git"): + gitpath += "/.git" c = convert(convert_git(gitpath), convert_mercurial(hgpath), mapfile) c.convert() _______________________________________________ Mercurial mailing list Mercurial@selenic.com http://selenic.com/mailman/listinfo/mercurial

MERCURIAL QUICK-START

Setting up Mercurial:

 Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by
 default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C
 compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3.

 First, unpack the source:

 $ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz
 $ cd mercurial-<ver>

 To install system-wide:

 $ python setup.py install   # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default

 To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run:

 $ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~
 $ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python  # (or lib64/ on some systems)
 $ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH         # add these to your .bashrc

 And finally:

 $ hg                                    # test installation, show help

 If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set
 PYTHONPATH correctly.

Setting up a Mercurial project:

 $ cd project/
 $ hg init         # creates .hg
 $ hg addremove    # add all unknown files and remove all missing files
 $ hg commit       # commit all changes, edit changelog entry

 Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your
 repository which contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in
 file paths.

Branching and merging:

 $ hg clone linux linux-work    # create a new branch
 $ cd linux-work
 $ <make changes>
 $ hg commit
 $ cd ../linux
 $ hg pull ../linux-work     # pull changesets from linux-work
 $ hg update -m              # merge the new tip from linux-work into
                             # our working directory
 $ hg commit                 # commit the result of the merge

Importing patches:

 Fast:
 $ patch < ../p/foo.patch
 $ hg addremove
 $ hg commit

 Faster:
 $ patch < ../p/foo.patch
 $ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch`

 Fastest:
 $ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p

Exporting a patch:

 (make changes)
 $ hg commit
 $ hg tip
 28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190
 $ hg export 28237 > foo.patch    # export changeset 28237

Network support:

 # pull from the primary Mercurial repo
 foo$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/
 foo$ cd hg

 # export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
 foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80

 # pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH
 foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/

 # merge changes from a remote machine
 bar$ hg pull http://foo/
 bar$ hg update -m        # merge changes into your working directory

 # Set up a CGI server on your webserver
 foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi
 foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults
