Run this command to configure SubGit import:

where

SVN_URL – SVN project URL.
GIT_REPO – a path to the new Git repository.
TRUNK – a path, relative to SVN_URL, that leads to an SVN directory that plays a the role of the main line of development.

    CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL

    To complete SubGit installation do the following:

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

Specify authors mapping
Configure authors mapping in default authors mapping file:
No Format
GIT_REPO/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 in the Authors mapping article.

Specify a username and password that are used by SubGit to access the SCN repository. Edit passwd file:

No Format
GIT_REPO\subgit\passwd

By default, there's only subgit secret credential pair. Replace it with with a username and its corresponding password.

Info

title	SVN authentication

There are several methods to configure authentication to access SVN server, but we use a plain text password file here to simplify the guide. See more authentication methods in SVN Authentication if this method does not fit your needs.

Establish a two-way mirror between SVN and Gerrit by the following command:

No Format

  INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL

  Your copy of SubGit is not registered for repository at 'c:\gerrit\git\project.git'.

  Obtain registration key at http://www.subgit.com/ and register SubGit with 'register' command; registration is free for Open Source, Educational and Startup projects.

  To uninstall SubGit use 'uninstall' command.

When the command completed, the mirror is established and data from SVN is translated to Gerrit, so you can clone your new Git repository and start to work with it:

No Format
> git clone GIT_REPO WORK_TREE

where

GERRIT_URL – the new Gerrit project URL.
WORK_TREE – a path to your working copy.

Warning

title	Empty 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 automatic branches and tags mapping didn't work correctly. In this case, mapping has to be set manually, see details on mapping in Branches and tags mapping.

Try and buy.

Info

title	Trial period

Note: the trial period for SubGit mirror is 30 days, after that period you should buy a license key at https://subgit.com/pricing.

Once you receive an email with a license key, upload this license key to your server and run the following command:

No Format
> subgit register --key subgit.key GIT_REPO

where

GIT_REPO – a path to your newly created Git repository.
