Description: Tool for editing version-control repository history
`reposurgeon` enables risky operations that version-control systems
don't want to let you do, such as (a) editing past comments and metadata,
(b) excising commits, (c) coalescing commits, and (d) removing files and
subtrees from repo history. The original motivation for `reposurgeon`
was to clean up artifacts created by repository conversions.
.
`reposurgeon` is also useful for scripting very high-quality
conversions from Subversion. It is better than `git-svn` at tag
lifting, automatically cleaning up `cvs2svn` conversion artifacts,
dealing with nonstandard repository layouts, recognizing branch
merges, handling mixed-branch commits, and generally at coping with
Subversion's many odd corner cases. Normally Subversion repos should
be analyzed at a rate of upwards of ten thousand commits per minute,
though that rate can fall significantly on extremely large
repositories.
.
An auxiliary program, `repotool`, performs various useful
operations such as checkouts and tag listing in a VCS-independent
manner. Yet another, `repomapper`, assists in automatically preparing
contributor maps of CVS and SVN repositories.
.
The `repocutter` program is available for some specialized operations on
Subversion dumpfiles; it may be useful in extracting portions of
particularly gnarly Subversion repositories for conversion with
reposurgeon.
.
This distribution supports a generic conversion workflow using these
tools, and includes a long-form manual "Repository Editing and
Conversion With Reposurgeon" that describes how to use it.
.
The file `reposurgeon-git-aliases` can be appended to your `~/.gitconfig` to
support working directly with action stamps in git.
.
Finally, an Emacs Lisp mode with useful functions for editing large
comment message-boxes is included.
