How do I migrate an SVN repository with history to a new Git repository?

Question

I read the Git manual, FAQ, Git - SVN crash course, etc. and they all explain this and that, but nowhere can you find a simple instruction like:

SVN repository in: <

Answer 1

I´m on a windows machine and made a small Batch to transfer a SVN repo with history (but without branches) to a GIT repo by just calling

transfer.bat http://svn.my.address/svn/myrepo/trunk https://git.my.address/orga/myrepo

Perhaps anybody can use it. It creates a TMP-folder checks out the SVN repo there with git and adds the new origin and pushes it... and deletes the folder again.

@echo off 
SET FROM=%1 
SET TO=%2 
SET TMP=tmp_%random%

echo from:  %FROM% 
echo to:    %TO% 
echo tmp:   %TMP%

pause

git svn clone  --no-metadata --authors-file=users.txt %FROM% %TMP%  
cd %TMP% 
git remote add origin %TO% 
git push --set-upstream origin master


cd .. 
echo delete %TMP% ... 
pause

rmdir /s /q %TMP%

You still need the users.txt with your user-mappings like

User1 = User One
