hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [MAPFILE]] Convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one. Accepted source formats: - Mercurial - CVS - Darcs - git - Subversion 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 <MAPFILE> isn't given, it will be put in a default location (<dest>/.hg/shamap by default). The <MAPFILE> 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.
