Stepping Up: Migrating from an SVN to a Git repository

pull the svn history into a new git repository:

* mkdir project_name.svn
* cd project_name.svn
* git svn init path/to/svn/repo —no-metadata
* echo “svn_username = Real Name ” > users.txt
* git config svn.authorsfile users.txt
* git svn fetch

make an svn-free git repository:

* mkdir project_name.git
* cd project_name.git
* git init
* git remote add origin path/to/git/repo
* git pull project_name.svn
* git push origin master

yippie!
