In Conversion to Subversion: Tags<\/a>, I explained how I cleaned up the tags portion of the CVS dump file in order to generate a subversion repository in the format I wanted. Lars Mentrup emailed to say that I had not been clear enough on a few points. After re-reading what I wrote, I have to agree.<\/p>\n

In the original article, I referred to working on the initial copy from trunk<\/em>. This was obviously missing a subtle point. All of my changes started with the dumpfile that had been filtered to contain the project and tag entries. Given this filtered file, I was talking about the initial copy of the tags. This is the equivalent of<\/p>\n

\ncp 'trunk' 'tags\/FIRST_RELEASE'\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now, I really did not want the entire tree copied to the tags<\/code> directory, and I wanted the tags<\/code> directory structured differently. So, I changed the equivalent of the above command to the equivalent of<\/p>\n
\ncp 'project1\/trunk' 'project1\/tags\/FIRST_RELEASE'\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now the dumpfile has a large number of extraneous delete commands that are the equivalent of<\/p>\n
\nrm tags\/FIRST_RELEASE\/project2\nrm tags\/FIRST_RELEASE\/project3\nrm tags\/FIRST_RELEASE\/project4\n...\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Since I changed the initial copy, these are no longer needed. So, I just delete them from the dumpfile.<\/p>\n
The result of all of these changes is a single dumpfile with the ‘project1’ project information and the ‘FIRST_RELEASE’ tag information. I can use svnadmin load<\/code> to load the project and its tags into the repository.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, this will clarify what I meant. Thanks again to Lars for taking the time to let me know where I was unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
