Question

I have a subversion repository that has about 45000 revisions. I am trying to convert it to git but it keeps failing.

I have tried git svn clone, subgit, svn2git and the atlassian provided svn-migration-scripts.jar

git svn clone and the atlassian provide jar usage result in similar errors - perl.exe.dump

subgit gives me an out of memory error

svn2git gives a different error

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong/ if I am not allocating enough resources for the migrtation (memory/CPU etc...). Or, if there is something wrong with my SVN repo that is causing these to fails.

Any suggestions/ ideas on how to troubleshoot these issues? Also, does 45000 revisions make it a large repository?

Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution

I can add a suggestion for SubGit.

Run "subgit configure" then add to SubGit config file (depending on your case it will be at "subgit/config" or "conf/subgit.conf") the following option:

[translate]
eols = false

Then run "subgit install" for the repository. I hope this will help.
