  1. Configure Gerrit server


    • Login to console on the Gerrit server and install SubGit tool according to the   Installation guide.

    • Download   SubGit plugin for Gerrit server.

      MD5 checksum:   a2db62d13ce8ac5c55515c14f90ea28b
      Compatible Gerrit versions: 2.9.x, 2.10.x, 2.11.x, 2.12.x, 2.13.x, 2.14.x and 2.15.x.


    • Move the downloaded file into GERRIT_SITE/plugins directory:

      where

      • GERRIT_SITE  –  the directory that was used  as   $sitepath  during  Gerrit installation.


    • Open Gerrit configuration file residing by the following path:

      GERRIT_SITE/etc/gerrit.config

      where

      • GERRIT_SITE  –  the directory that was used  as   $sitepath  during  Gerrit installation.


      Locate   receive.timeout  parameter and set it to 0:

      [receive]
   timeout = 0


      if you have Git installed on this machine, it can be done by the following command:

      > git config -f GERRIT_SITE/etc/gerrit.config receive.timeout 0

    • Restart the Gerrit daemon:
       

      • if you have started the Gerrit daemon manually –  stop it by Ctrl+C and then start it again:

        Start Gerrit daemon
        > java.exe -jar bin\gerrit.war daemon --console-log

      • if you have Gerrit run as Windows service - restart the service using services.msc console or by commands:

        > sc stop Gerrit
> sc start Gerrit

    • Check if SubGit plugin is shown in Gerrit:

  2. Configure the repository


    • Create an empty Git repository:

    • Open the Gerrit server console and navigate to  git directory  within   GERRIT_SITE:

      CD to git directory
      > cd GERRIT_SITE\git

      where

      • GERRIT_SITE  –  the directory that was used as   $sitepath during  Gerrit installation.

      The newly created project directory should be present here and named   <given project name>.git

      Git directory contain
      > dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is B86A-EF32
 Directory of c:\gerrit\git
11.05.2017  20:21    <DIR>          .
11.05.2017  20:21    <DIR>          ..
11.05.2017  17:50    <DIR>          All-Projects.git
11.05.2017  17:50    <DIR>          All-Users.git
11.05.2017  20:14    <DIR>          project.git

    • Run this command to configure SubGit import:

      > subgit configure --layout auto --trunk TRUNK SVN_URL GIT_REPO

      where

      • SVN_URL   –  SVN project URL.
      • GIT_REPO  –  path to the new Git repository.
      • TRUNK       –  path, relative to   SVN_URL,  that leads to the SVN directory that acts as the   main line of development.
      subgit configure
      > subgit.bat configure --layout auto --trunk trunk http://example.com/svn/repository/project c:\gerrit\git\project.git
        
    SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670

    Configuring writable Git mirror of remote Subversion repository:
        Subversion repository URL : http://example.com/svn/repository/project
        Git repository location   : C:\repo.git

    CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL

    To complete SubGit installation do the following:

    1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\config
    2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\passwd
        OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\config
    3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at:
         C:\repo.git\subgit\authors.txt
    4) Run SubGit 'install' command:
         subgit install "C:\repo.git"

    • Specify authors mapping

      Configure authors mapping in the default authors mapping file:

      GIT_REPOS/subgit/authors.txt

      Or  change   core.authors  option so that it points to the global authors mapping file.

      Find more details about authors mapping in the Authors mapping article.
       

  3. Import data into the Git repository

    Run

    > subgit import GIT_REPO

    where 

        GIT_REPO  –  a path to the Git repository.

    subgit import
    > subgit import c:\gerrit\git\project.git

  SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670

  Translating Subversion revisions to Git commits...

     Subversion revisions translated: 10248.
     Total time: 2 hours 15 minutes 19 seconds.

  IMPORT SUCCESSFUL

  4. Clone your new Git repository and start working with it

    > git clone GIT_REPO WORK_TREE

    where 

        WORK_TREE  –  a path to your working copy.

    git clone example
    $ git clone http://gerrit.example.com/user/project.git C:\project.git
  Cloning into 'C:\project.git'...
  Password for 'http://user@example.com': 
  remote: Counting objects: 99, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (39/39), done.
  remote: Total 99 (delta 50), reused 99 (delta 50)
  Unpacking objects: 100% (99/99), done.

    Empty working tree case

    If Git warns you that you are cloning an empty repository and you don't see your files in the working tree, most probably automatic branches and tags mapping didn't work correctly. In this case, mapping has to be set manually, see details on mapping in Branches and tags mapping.
