How to import specific svn branch to existing git repo using svn2git?

Question

How can I import a specific branch in my SVN repo to another existing GIT repo? ex. svn/my-branch --> git/my-branch

Answer 1

Yes, by doing something like (see: here for more details):

1. Define the new branch in .git/config :

   [svn-remote "release-branch"]
      url = svn+ssh://user@example.com/source/branches/branch_name
      fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-release-branch
   

2. Import the SVN branch. SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION is the the revision when the branch happened in SVN.

   git svn fetch release-branch -r SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION
   

In order to establish the SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION value you can use:

  svn log --stop-on-copy PATH_TO_BRANCH

3. Hook up a local Git branch to the remote branch:

   git branch --track release git-svn-release
   

4. Checkout and update

   git checkout release
   git svn rebase
