hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [REVMAP]]

Convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.

    Accepted source formats:

    - Mercurial

    - CVS

    - Darcs

    - git

    - Subversion

    - Monotone

    - GNU Arch

    Accepted destination formats:

    - Mercurial

    - Subversion (history on branches is not preserved)

    If no revision is given, all revisions will be converted. Otherwise,

    convert will only import up to the named revision (given in a format

    understood by the source).

    If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the

    basename of the source with '-hg' appended.  If the destination

    repository doesn't exist, it will be created.

    If <REVMAP> isn't given, it will be put in a default location

    (<dest>/.hg/shamap by default).  The <REVMAP> is a simple text

    file that maps each source commit ID to the destination ID for

    that revision, like so:

    <source ID> <destination ID>

    If the file doesn't exist, it's automatically created.  It's updated

    on each commit copied, so convert-repo can be interrupted and can

    be run repeatedly to copy new commits.

    The [username mapping] file is a simple text file that maps each source

    commit author to a destination commit author. It is handy for source SCMs

    that use unix logins to identify authors (eg: CVS). One line per author

    mapping and the line format is:

    srcauthor=whatever string you want

    The filemap is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files

    and directories.  Comment lines start with '#'.  Each line can

    contain one of the following directives:

      include path/to/file

      exclude path/to/file

      rename from/file to/file

    The 'include' directive causes a file, or all files under a

    directory, to be included in the destination repository, and the

    exclusion of all other files and dirs not explicitely included.

    The 'exclude' directive causes files or directories to be omitted.

    The 'rename' directive renames a file or directory.  To rename from a

    subdirectory into the root of the repository, use '.' as the path to

    rename to.

    The splicemap is a file that allows insertion of synthetic

    history, letting you specify the parents of a revision.  This is

    useful if you want to e.g. give a Subversion merge two parents, or

    graft two disconnected series of history together.  Each entry

    contains a key, followed by a space, followed by one or two

    values, separated by spaces.  The key is the revision ID in the

    source revision control system whose parents should be modified

    (same format as a key in .hg/shamap).  The values are the revision

    IDs (in either the source or destination revision control system)

    that should be used as the new parents for that node.

    Mercurial Source

    -----------------

    --config convert.hg.saverev=True          (boolean)

        allow target to preserve source revision ID

    Subversion Source

    -----------------

    Subversion source detects classical trunk/branches/tags layouts.

    By default, the supplied "svn://repo/path/" source URL is

    converted as a single branch. If "svn://repo/path/trunk" exists

    it replaces the default branch. If "svn://repo/path/branches"

    exists, its subdirectories are listed as possible branches. If

    "svn://repo/path/tags" exists, it is looked for tags referencing

    converted branches. Default "trunk", "branches" and "tags" values

    can be overriden with following options. Set them to paths

    relative to the source URL, or leave them blank to disable

    autodetection.

    --config convert.svn.branches=branches    (directory name)

        specify the directory containing branches

    --config convert.svn.tags=tags            (directory name)

        specify the directory containing tags

    --config convert.svn.trunk=trunk          (directory name)

        specify the name of the trunk branch

    Source history can be retrieved starting at a specific revision,

    instead of being integrally converted. Only single branch

    conversions are supported.

    --config convert.svn.startrev=0           (svn revision number)

        specify start Subversion revision.

    Mercurial Destination

    ---------------------

    --config convert.hg.clonebranches=False   (boolean)

        dispatch source branches in separate clones.

    --config convert.hg.tagsbranch=default    (branch name)

        tag revisions branch name

    --config convert.hg.usebranchnames=True   (boolean)

        preserve branch names

options:

 -A --authors      username mapping filename

 -d --dest-type    destination repository type

    --filemap      remap file names using contents of file

 -r --rev          import up to target revision REV

 -s --source-type  source repository type

    --splicemap    splice synthesized history into place

    --datesort     try to sort changesets by date
