GitMirrorForSVN

A cronable script for updating a git mirror of an svn repo without access to svn hooks.

Requirements

• git
• git-svn
• saved svn authentication (so the script can run w/o auth)
• ssh keys for git (so the script can run w/o auth)

Example

The following cron example will check for updates the subversion project trunk every minute and push those updates to a branch called trunk_svn in the remote git repo. From there, any new commits can be cherry picked into the git-native development branches.

* * * * * /home/foo/update_git.sh http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/ [e-mail]:asf/subversion.git trunk_svn
