I have started to migrate PCRE2 and have fallen at the first hurdle. Having
created a GitHub project, I tried to import from the existing Subversion
repo, but that didn't work. It didn't seem to be able to find something it
could work with.
I then tried to use "git svn" to clone the svn repo onto my local machine
as a git repo that can then be pushed to GitHub. However, I cannot get this
to work. Here's an example of the errors I'm getting:
$ git svn clone
http://vcs.exim.org/pcre2/code/ --authors-file=users.txt
--no-metadata --prefix "" -s pcre2
Session URL does not match expected session URL: Repository moved
permanently to '
https://git.exim.org/pcre2/code' at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 310.
It has set up the new pcre2 directory as a git repo, but of course it's
empty. Does anybody know how I should proceed? Googling hasn't produced
anything helpful yet.
I all else fails, I can populate the new local repo by hand, I suppose, and
then push to GitHub.
Regards,
Philip
