Prerequisites
Tortoisesvn
TortoiseHg
Versions used
Tortoisesvn 1.7.1
TortoiseHg 2.5.1
Steps
- Create a directory to hold a local copy of your svn repository e.g. c:\svnrepo Create the local svn repository in the newly created directory e.g
svnadmin create c:\svnrepo
- This process will create a number of directories and files in the c:\svnrepo directory
- Create an empty file named pre-revprop-change.bat in the c:\svnrepo\hooks directory
- Initialize the local svn repository for syncing with the remote repository e.g.
svnsync init file:///c:/svnrepo http://svn.code.sf.net/p/myproject/code
- Sync the repositories
svnsync sync file:///c:/svnrepo
- This will copy/download files from the remote repository to the local one so it may take some time and bandwidth depending on the size of the remote repository
- Make some configurations to TortoiseHg. Open windows explorer, right click on any directory and select the TortoiseHg > Global Settings menu. Select Commit in the left hand pane and enter a username. The conventional format is firstname lastname <email>.
Select the Extensions option on the left hand pane and tick the convert extension. Click on OK to save these settings Create a directory to hold a local copy of your hg repository e.g. c:\hgrepo Create the local hg repository in the newly created directory e.g
hg init c:\hgrepo
- Convert the local svn repo to hg, putting the results in the local hg repository
hg convert c:/svnrepo c:/hgrepo
- Push your local hg repository to the remote hg repository
cd c:\hgrepo hg push ssh://myusername@hg.code.sf.net/p/myproject/mymountpoint
- This will upload the project files to the remote repository and may take a considerable amount of time depending on the size of the repository and upload speeds.
