[fossil-users] two questions abut git import
Hi all, I'm new to fossil, therefore apologize for my trivial questions. I've imported a quite big git repository (around 500 GB) to fossil without any problem, but: 1) if I get it right the fossil repo file must be in the same directory of the git tree, and therefore I cannot place it somewhere else as for native fossil repos, is this correct? 2) is there a way to change the author name and email of all presents commits?

No. The Fossil repo is completely self contained and does not depend in any way on the git repo or even on the git-export file it was created from. 2) is there a way to change the author name and email of all presents commits? Once the data is in the Fossil repo it cannot be changed. Any changes have to be done either in the git repository before exporting, or on the exported file before importing. I am not familiar enough with git to know if such tools exist, or even if these things are possible. -- ˙uʍop-ǝpısdn sı ɹoʇıuoɯ ɹnoʎ 'sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟı ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

The original username is preserved and is accessible, but the modified user name is the one used on timeline displays and such. If you click on the link to a particular check-in in the timeline, then click on the Edit link for the check-in information page, it takes you to a screen that lets you modify the check-in in various ways, such as changing the user name. But Baruch is correct in saying that the check-in is not really modified - what this does is create a special tag that says display this alternative username on the timeline. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this for every check-in all at once. You would have to go through and create separate tags for each check-in. There is probably a way to script this. But it would be better to change the names in git prior to import, probably. Or, run the git-fast-export text through a sed script that makes the change prior to sending into fossil import. -- D.

You'd just need to feed it the list of versions, which you can fetch with something like: echo select b.uuid from blob b, event e where e.objid=b.rid and e.type='ci'; | fossil sqlite But...
