                  To complete SubGit installation do the following:
      
                  1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/config
                  2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/passwd
                     OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/config
                  3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/authors.txt
                  4) Run SubGit 'install' command:
                      subgit install ./repo.git



    • Specify authors mapping

      Configure authors mapping in   default authors mapping file:

      No Format
      GIT_REPOS/subgit/authors.txt 

      Or  change   core.authors  option  so that it points to the global authors mapping file.

      Find more details about authors mapping in   the   Authors mapping article.
       

  3. Import data to the Git repository

    No Format
    $ subgit import GIT_REPO 

    where 

        GIT_REPO  –   a path to the Git repository.

    Warning
    titleEmpty working tree case

    If Git warns you that you are cloning an empty repository and you don't see your files in the working tree, most probably the automatic branches and tags mapping didn't work correctly. In this case, mapping has to be set manually, see details on mapping in the   Branches and tags mapping.
