Transfer of git history to Perforce Helix Core - experimental

GitP4Transfer

Options to import git repositories into Perforce Helix Core.

GitP4Transfer.py

Script to migrate history from a git LFS repository into p4 (Perforce Helix Core).

As of 2022/04/19 this is functional for a single branch at a time, although still considered Beta state.

It loops over commits in reverse order:

• Checks out the commit (LFS will get the contents of the files)
• Uses git diff-tree and then replays the contents of each file
• Focusses on a single branch at a time (e.g. master), not branches
• Stores latest processed commit as a counter in Helix Core - so incremental or partial runs can be done
• Can process active branches with some manual steps.

For details of design/usage etc see: GitP4Transfer.adoc

gitp4transfer - Go version

The intent of this is to process git fast-export files and import then into Helix Core. It does this by creating a Helix Core checkpoint file (and associated archive files).

This is documented in: GitP4Transfer.adoc

It is considered to be in beta release.
