git-svnserver

git-svnserver

This project will be a Subversion server used to access Git repositories, written in Go.

This is a work in progress, and it is in a very early stage: right now, many things do not work (yet).

How does this work

The program behaves like the "svnserve -t" command: it reads commands and sends responses via stdin / stdout.

The list of all the commits up to the HEAD are stored in .git/git-svn-refs.txt, which is used to number them as SVN revisions.

Function syncSvnRevs() reads all the commits from .git/git-svn-refs.txt and, if any commit is missing, it adds them to that file.

WARNING: There are no locks (yet) when reading and writing file .git/git-svn-refs.txt.

Basic functionality

The following SVN protocol commands are currently implemented:

• get-latest-rev
• stat
• list
• get-file

The following SVN commands are currently working against this server (at least in part):

• svn info
• svn ls
• svn cat
• svn log

TO-DO list

• "last changed" (author, rev and date) show information for the whole commit, not for the file inside the commit.
• Command update (needed for svn checkout)

Non-working SVN commands

• svn checkout
• svn blame
• svn proplist
