## Git
|
|
|
|
First you have to clone the old repository with the `mirror` option.
|
|
This option ensures that all branches and tags are fetched from the remote repository.
|
|
Assuming that your remote repository is accessible under the url `https://hgttg.com/r/git/heart-of-gold`, the clone command should look like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone --mirror https://hgttg.com/r/git/heart-of-gold
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Than you have to create your new repository via the SCM-Manager web interface and copy the url.
|
|
In this example we assume that the new repository is available at `https://hitchhiker.com/scm/repo/hgttg/heart-of-gold`. After the new repository is created, we can configure our local repository for the new location and push all refs.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd heart-of-gold
|
|
git remote set-url origin https://hitchhiker.com/scm/repo/hgttg/heart-of-gold
|
|
git push --mirror
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Mercurial
|
|
|
|
To import an existing mercurial repository, we have to create a new repository over the SCM-Manager web interface, clone it, pull from the old repository and push to the new repository.
|
|
In this example we assume that the old repository is `https://hgttg.com/r/hg/heart-of-gold` and the newly created is located at `https://hitchhiker.com/scm/repo/hgttg/heart-of-gold`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hg clone https://hitchhiker.com/scm/repo/hgttg/heart-of-gold
|
|
cd heart-of-gold
|
|
hg pull https://hgttg.com/r/hg/heart-of-gold
|
|
hg push
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Subversion
|
|
|
|
Subversion is not as easy as mercurial or git.
|
|
For subversion we have to locate the old repository on the filesystem and create a dump with the `svnadmin` tool.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
svnadmin dump /path/to/repo > oldrepo.dump
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now we have to create a new repository via the SCM-Manager web interface.
|
|
After the repository is created, we have to find its location on the filesystem.
|
|
This could be done by finding the directory with the newest timestamp in your scm home directory under `repositories`.
|
|
You can check whether you have found the correct directory by having a look at the file `metadata.xml`. Here you should find the namespace and the name of the repository created.
|
|
Now its time to import the dump from the old repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
svnadmin load /path/to/scm-home/repositories/id/data < oldrepo.dump
|
|
```
