Converting from CVS to SVN to Hg, does 'hg convert' require pointing to an SVN checkout or just a re
- by Terry
As part of migrating full CVS history to Hg, I've used cvs2svn to create an SVN repo in a local directory. It's first level directory structure is:
2010-04-21 09:39 AM <DIR> .
2010-04-21 09:39 AM <DIR> ..
2010-04-21 09:39 AM <DIR> locks
2010-04-21 09:39 AM <DIR> hooks
2010-04-21 09:39 AM <DIR> conf
2010-04-21 09:39 AM 229 README.txt
2010-04-21 11:45 AM <DIR> db
2010-04-21 09:39 AM 2 format
2 File(s) 231 bytes
After setting up hg and the convert extension and attempting the convert, I get the following on convert:
C:\>hg convert file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN
assuming destination repoSVN-hg
initializing destination repoSVN-hg repository
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a CVS checkout
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a Git repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a Subversion repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN is not a local Mercurial repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a darcs repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a monotone repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a GNU Arch repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a Bazaar repo
file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN does not look like a P4 repo
abort: file://localhost/Users/terry/Desktop/repoSVN: missing or unsupported repository
I have TortoiseHg installed. For info, hg version reports:
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.4.3)
This version of Mercurial seems to have some svn bindings if library.zip in the install is to be believed.
Do I need to do a checkout and point hg convert to it for this to work properly?
