Convert a Mercurial Repository to Git

Question

I\'ve already tried hg2git through fast-export and I\'ve already tried hg-git.

Both with no success. hg2git actually worked, but I had to ask a friend who runs a Uni

Answer 1

If you're really only looking to do it this once you can use hg export like this:

hg export 0:tip -o all-changesets-in-one.patch

or if git prefers only one patch per file you can create one per changeset like this:

hg export 0:tip -o changeset-%r.patch

presumably git apply can take one or the other of those formats.
