This is close to what svn-git-author.sh script is doing in gcc-pretty and gcc-reparent conversions. It ignores 1-3 character differences in author/committer names and email addresses. I've audited results for all branches and didn't spot any mistakes. In other news, I'm working on comparison of gcc-pretty, gcc-reparent and gcc-reposurgeon-5a repos among themselves. Below are current notes for comparison of gcc-pretty/trunk and gcc-reposurgeon-5a/trunk. == Merges on trunk == Reposurgeon creates merge entries on trunk when changes from a branch are merged into trunk. This brings entire development history from the branch to trunk, which is both good and bad. The good part is that we get more visibility into how the code evolved. The bad part is that we get many "noisy" commits from merged branch (e.g., "Merge in trunk" every few revisions) and that our SVN branches are work-in-progress quality, not ready for review/commit quality. It's common for files to be re-written in large chunks on branches. Also, reposurgeon's commit logs don't have information on SVN path from which the change came, so there is no easy way to determine that a given commit is from a merged branch, not an original trunk commit. Git-svn, on the other hand, provides "git-svn-id: <path>@<revision>" tags in its commit logs. My conversion follows current GCC development policy that trunk history should be linear. Branch merges to trunk are squashed. Merges between non-trunk branches are handled as specified by svn:mergeinfo SVN properties. == Differences in trees == Git trees (aka filesystem content) match between pretty/trunk and reposurgeon-5a/trunk from current tip and up tosvn's r130805. Here is SVN log of that revision (restoration of deleted trunk): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r130805 | dberlin | 2007-12-13 01:53:37 +0000 (Thu, 13 Dec 2007) Changed paths: A /trunk (from /trunk:130802) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reposurgeon conversion has: ------------- commit 7e6f2a96e89d96c2418482788f94155d87791f0a Author: Daniel Berlin <[email protected]> Date: Thu Dec 13 01:53:37 2007 +0000 Readd trunk Legacy-ID: 130805 .gitignore | 17 ----------------- 1 file changed, 17 deletions(-) ------------- and my conversion has: ------------- commit fb128f3970789ce094c798945b4fa20eceb84cc7 Author: Daniel Berlin <[email protected]> Date: Thu Dec 13 01:53:37 2007 +0000 Readd trunk git-svn-id: https://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@130805 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4 ------------- It appears that .gitignore has been added in r1 by reposurgeon and then deleted at r130805. In SVN repository .gitignore was added in r195087. I speculate that addition of .gitignore at r1 is expected, but it's deletion at r130805 is highly suspicious. == Committer entries == Reposurgeon uses [email protected] for committer email addresses even when it correctly detects author name from ChangeLog. reposurgeon-5a: r278995 Martin Liska <[email protected]> Martin Liska <[email protected]> r278994 Jozef Lawrynowicz <[email protected]> Jozef Lawrynowicz <[email protected]> r278993 Frederik Harwath <[email protected]> Frederik Harwath <[email protected]> r278992 Georg-Johann Lay <[email protected]> Georg-Johann Lay <[email protected]> r278991 Richard Biener <[email protected]> Richard Biener <[email protected]> pretty: r278995 Martin Liska <[email protected]> Martin Liska <[email protected]> r278994 Jozef Lawrynowicz <[email protected]> Jozef Lawrynowicz <[email protected]> r278993 Frederik Harwath <[email protected]> Frederik Harwath <[email protected]> r278992 Georg-Johann Lay <[email protected]> Georg-Johann Lay <[email protected]> r278991 Richard Biener <[email protected]> Richard Biener <[email protected]> == Bad summary line == While looking around r138087, below caught my eye.
