    Anchor
    core.shared
    core.shared

    a boolean value, can be set to true or false.When true, all files in the Git repository will be made group-writable; false will set all the files owner writable only. The option must be true when more than one system account is used to work with this repository. The default is false.
     
  • authorsFile = PATH
    Anchor
    core.authorsFile
    core.authorsFile

    a path to the authors mapping file or authors mapping helper program:

    • authors mapping file – a text file with explicit authors mapping:

      titleauthors mapping syntax
      svn_username = Git User <gituser@example.com>
    • authors helper program – an executable authors mapping helper program and its optional arguments.

    Find more details on authors mapping in the authors mapping user manual.
    There could be more than one authorsFile options specified, they will be processed from the last to the first until the mapping is obtained. 
  • authorsFileEncoding = ENCODING
    Anchor
    core.authorsFileEncoding
    core.authorsFileEncoding

    encoding in which authors mapping information is present. The default value is UTF8.

  • failSafe = [auto|svn|git]
    Anchor
    core.failSafe
    core.failSafe

    a way SubGit handles translation failures. There are three possible options:
    • auto – failed translation results in commits or pushes to be blocked on the side to which translation has failed.
    • svn – commits to Subversion are never being blocked.
    • git – pushes to Git are never being blocked.
    Find more details in "Error recover" user manual
  • pathEncoding = ENCODING

  • streamFileThreshold = SIZE
    Anchor
    core.streamFileThreshold
    core.streamFileThreshold

    file size in bytes. SubGit loads the entire file into memory if its size less than this threshold; if the file is larger than the threshold, SubGit sends it as a stream. The option is not set by default, but SubGit sets the threshold to 50MB when the option is not set, so default threshold is 50MB. Note, the bigger the threshold is, the more likely to run into OutOfMemory error.

  • triggerSvnPostReceive = [true|false]
    Anchor
    svn.triggerSvnPostReceive
    svn.triggerSvnPostReceive

    If true, SubGit invokes user-post-receive hook during changes translation from SVN side to Git repository, otherwise it doesn't. This option exerts influence on SVN-to-Git translation only, when SubGit translates changes from Git to SVN it invokes hooks irrespective of this option.
     
  • triggerGitGC = [true|false|N]
    Anchor
    svn.triggerGitGC
    svn.triggerGitGC

    If the settings is set to true, SubGit will always run Git garbage collection git gc --auto. When false it won't run the collection. A numeric value N represents a number of revisions; SubGit will invoke git gc --autoevery N revisions.
     
  • keepGitCommitTime = [true|false]
    Anchor
    svn.keepGitCommitTime
    svn.keepGitCommitTime

    When true, SVN commits will have the same dates as corresponding Git commits, even if this violates monotonic increase of commit dates from revision to revision. When false, SubGit will try to preserve Git commit dates while translation to SVN, but it will guarantee SVN dates to increase monotonically from revision to revision. The default value is false.
  • revisionProperties = PATTERN
    Anchor
    svn.revisionProperties
    svn.revisionProperties

    a pattern that represents revision properties to be set when a Git commit is translated to SVN, comma or space separated. Supported values are:
    • author           – sets subgit:author as the author of Git commit.
    • committer  – sets subgit:committer as the committer of Git commit
    • date               – sets subgit:date Git commit creation date in a form "YY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss Z".
    • log                 – sets subgit:log as the Git commit message.
    • commit           – sets subgit:commit as the Git commit SHA-1 hash.
    • svnUser         – sets subgit:svnUser as the SVN user SubGit uses to create a revision.

    There are two ways to set the PATTERN: 
    • the first is just list the values:

      Code Block
      languagetext
      themeFadeToGrey
      titlerevisionProperties list syntax
      revisionProperties = author,date,log

      In this case, SubGit will set SVN the following revision properties:

      Code Block
      languagetext
      themeFadeToGrey
      titleSVN revision properties
      subgit:author = <author>
      subgit:date = <date>
      subgit:log = <log>
    • Another way is to set values along with some custom namespace, e.g. for custom namespace git:

      Code Block
      languagetext
      themeFadeToGrey
      titlerevisionProperties syntax with custom namespace
      revisionProperties = git:author=author,git:date=date,git:log=log

      In such case SubGit will set the SVN revision properties using that exact git namespace:

      Code Block
      languagetext
      themeFadeToGrey
      titleSVN revision properties with custom namespace
      git:author = <author>
      git:date = <date>
      git:log = <log> 
  • svnCommitMessage = PATTERN
    Anchor
    svn.svnCommitMessage
    svn.svnCommitMessage

    a pattern consisting of placeholders that construct SVN commit message when a Git commit is being translated to SVN. There are several acceptable placeholders:
    • %author    = Git author
    • %committer = Git committer
    • %date      = Git commit date
    • %message   = original message
    • %note             = Git commit note stored under refs/notes/commits
    • %note(refs/notes/namespace) = Git commit note stored under refs/notes/namespace
    • %commit     = Git commit hash
    • %svnUser      = Subversion username
    • %branch        = Subversion branch
    • \n                   = newline feed
       

    For example, if the svnCommitMessage was set like this:

    Code Block
    languagetext
    themeFadeToGrey
    titlesvnCommitMessage
    svnCommitMessage = Git: %author\n%commit@%branch\\n%message

    and then a commit has been pushed to the mirrored Git repository:

    Code Block
    languagetext
    themeFadeToGrey
    titleGit commit
    $ git log -v
    commit 161c0bc44517c21d8eb24b720dad71d724b915f9

    Anchor
    translate.externals
    translate.externals

    a boolean value that can be set to true or false. SubGit does not support translating svn:externals to Git submodules and back. However, when this option is set to true, SubGit creates special .gitsvnextmodules files in the root of every Git commit. These files store information on all the svn:externals definitions found in a given SVN branch. When false, SubGit ignores any svn:externals properties. The default is false.

  • followFirstParent = [true|false]
    Anchor
    translate.followFirstParent
    translate.followFirstParent

    a boolean value that can be set to true or false. When SubGit translates a merge commit to SVN revision, it tries to identify an SVN branch to send this commit to. When this option is set to true, SubGit always sends merge commit to the branch of its first parent unless it leads to branch replacement in SVN repository. When false, SubGit uses a number of heuristics in order to choose SVN branch for a given merge commit; in certain cases, SubGit may send a merge commit to the branch of its second parent. The default is false.


  • useGlueFetch = [true|false]
    Anchor
    translate.useGlueFetch

daemon

  • idleTimeout = TIMEOUT
    Anchor
    daemon.idleTimeout
    daemon.idleTimeout

    timeout in seconds for background translation process: it exits after being idle for the specified amount. 0 seconds timeout means that translation process exits immediately. Larger timeout values may improve translation performance by reducing translation process startup overhead. The default value is infinity which means the process won't exit.

  • launchTimeout = TIMEOUT
    Anchor
    daemon.launchTimeout
    daemon.launchTimeout

    time interval in seconds which hook is waiting for the daemon to start.
