Converting from other SCM formats to Mercurial
See http:/''www.darcs.net''DarcsWiki/Tailor for a tool that handles several popular formats.
Example Tailor conversion from CVS
Things to know:
-D turns on debugging mode, printing each executed command. Good way to understand what Tailor is doing
-v verbose, echo the changelogs as well as the commmands being run (convenient for understanding progress)
mkdir /path/to/hg/repo cd /path/to/hg/repo tailor.py -D -v --source-kind cvs --target-kind hg --bootstrap --repository $REP --module MODULENAME -r INITIAL tailor.py -D -v
When this is done, you should have a working Mercurial repository that matches the trunk of the CVS archive you have been using. The --repository option gets passed to CVS via the -d option, so anything that works for $CVSROOT will for for --repository.
Be aware that the last stage of this script will take a long time to run. Also, local access to the CVS repository instead of remote access may make it significantly faster.
==== Tailor 1.0
Hopefully latest tailor is much more easy to understand. See http:/''nautilus.homeip.net''~lele''projects''tailor''README.html#config-file-format where the second example shows a configuration sample involving CVS and Mercurial respectively as source and target backends. See also http:''''www.darcs.net''DarcsWiki''Tailor''VersionOne for a trace back of the changes.
From Arch 1.x/baz 1.5 to Mercurial
SamTardieu wrote a script to convert from Arch 1.0 archive format and I enhanced it to write full changelog instead of just the summary. You can find it on http:/''archives.keltia.net''hg/hg-convert. You need baz 1.5 because the option to get the full changelog is different in 1.4 and more important, the format of the changelog is different. -- OllivierRobert
Other options
Also take a look at contrib/convert-repo. This is an extensible framework for converting between repository types that is currently used for git to Mercurial conversion.
