Configure the repository

Create empty Git repository:
Open Gerrit server console and step into gitdirectory within GERRIT_SITE:
$ cd GERRIT_SITE/git
where
- GERRIT_SITE – the directory that was used as $sitepath during Gerrit installation.
newly created project directory should be present here and named <given project name>.git
$ ls -l drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 100 May 10 12:00 All-Projects.git drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 100 May 10 12:00 All-Users.git drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 100 May 11 19:26 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 – a path to new Git repository.
TRUNK – a path, relative to SVN_URL, that leads to an SVN directory that plays a role of the main line of development.

$ subgit configure --layout auto --trunk trunk http://example.com/svn/repository/project ./repo.git

SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670

CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL

To complete SubGit installation do the following:

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

Specify authors mapping
Configure authors mapping in 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 Authors mapping article.

Import data into the Git repository by the command:

$ subgit install GIT_REPO

where

GIT_REPO – a path to the Git repository.

$ subgit import ./project.git

     SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670

         Total time: 2 hours 15 minutes 38 seconds.

      IMPORT SUCCESSFUL

When the command completed, you can clone your new Git repository and start to work with it:

$ git clone GIT_REPO WORK_TREE

where

WORK_TREE – a path to your working copy.

$ git clone file:///home/user/repo.git /home/user/repo_working_copy
      Cloning into '/home/user/repo_working_copy'...
      remote: Counting objects: 99, done.
      remote: Compressing objects: 100% (89/89), done.
      remote: Total 99 (delta 51), reused 0 (delta 0)
      Receiving objects: 100% (99/99), 8.96 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
      Resolving deltas: 100% (51/51), done.

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.
