[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 10646 bytes --]

Dear all,

I finally had the time to start converting some older Subversion 
repositories to git repositiers and run into issues with repos using 
"parallel" branches, so-called vendor branches [1] in Subversion to 
track upstream changes via snapshots in a separate branch and merge them 
into the custom build on trunk.

Just wanting to convert the Subversion history as-is to git.
I studied the git-svn reference docs [2] plus the related chapter of the 
ProGit book [3] and assume that I understood how git-svn works.
Still I'm not a git expert, just a sporadic user.

Somehow `git svn fetch` (2.29.2.windows.3) looses merge information 
between vendor branch and trunk plus tags are referencing the 
predecessors instead of the original ancestor.
Maybe there is a manual way to fix this for that small repository, but 
it wouldn't be feasible for larger repositories, that's why I deceided 
to write this bug report.
Is there anything I missed? (see my procedure below)

Fortunately I ran quite early into these issues and also with a very 
small repository of just 11 commits, so I can provide a small 
reproduction case (see below after the links).
Hoping you can enhance `git svn fetch`.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance
Matthias Bücher

[Commits in Subversion]
A Subversion repository dump is attached, plus a test where I recreated 
the same history directly in a git repository without an issue.

* trunk:  a------------d--e--h--i--j--k
*                     /     /
* vendor: a (empty)--b-----f
*                    ^     ^
* tags:              c     g

* Vendor releases: b, f
* Custom modifications: e, i, j, k
* Tags: really just used as tags, although Subversion internally they 
are branches. Therefore wanting to create lightweight git tags, although 
annotated git tags would be fine too.


[Expected Subversion to git repo conversion]
* trunk => branch "main"
* branches/* => branch "*"
* tags/* => tag "*"
* vendor/current => branch "vendor/current" (can be renamed later to 
just "vendor")
* vendor/* => tag "vendor/*" (except for vendor/current)

Expected "tags":
vendor/5.4 = rev b (maybe c when annotated)
vendor/5.8 = rev f (maybe g when annotated)


[Wrong Results]
Merges from "vendor/current" branch to trunk get lost.
Tags are referencing the predecessors of the expected commit.


[Procedure]
```
### a) preparation
cd /d/Coding
#
cd dd-formmailer
svn log --xml --quiet | grep author | sort -u | perl -pe 
's/.*>(.*?)<.*/$1 = /' > authors-transform.txt
## edit authors-transform.txt accordingly

### b) git-svn adapted from ProGit book, but with "svn/" prefix
cd /d/Coding
git svn init --stdlayout --no-metadata --prefix="svn/" -- 
'svn+ssh://svn@vcs/dd-formmailer' dd-formmailer-git
cd dd-formmailer-git
## edit .git/config for additional vendor branches and tags

Tested further with re-created Subversion repositories, that either 
looked the same but made sure that svn:mergeinfo is present (Subversion 
 >=1.5 via "cherry pick merge", no "2-URL merge"), or that has the vendor branch being copied from trunk (both attached).
Only when the vendor branch was a copy from trunk, then svn-git got the 
merges correct. Otherwise - even with svn:mergeinfo - it does not get 
the merges.

Assumption:
It seems that git svn handles trunk and branches in a special way, but 
Subversion actually does not have branches.
In Subversion there are just directories and files, and a branch/tag is 
just a copy of another directory+revision and merges can happen between 
any directories independent if they have related ancestry or not.

Workaround:
As git svn does not recognize all merges correctly (especially 
cross-branch copies) those lost links must be added manually.
I wrote a small GNU awk script (attached) to determine all cross-branch 
copies from an `svnadmin dump`. This way the first revision when 
something got copied is known.
Running git svn just to that revision, then fixing the parents and 
continuing with git svn up the next revision.
This helps git svn to find the correct ancestors and correctly build the 
follow merges.
The parents can be changed with `git replace -f --graft <commit> 
<existing correct parents> <additional correct parents>`.
Additionally before continuing with git svn this `git replace` change 
can be made permanent with `git-filter-repo --force --replace-refs 
delete-no-add`.

Found a nice tool called reposurgeon [4] that helps a lot to manage 
converting a repository from Subversion to git, even in a scriptable 
way.
The authors also helped out to determine that my repository has some 
awkward commits due to older Subversion versions.
