SYNOPSIS

svn-all-fast-export [options] [Pathtosubversionrepository]

DESCRIPTION

svn-all-fast-export is a tool to convert your svn repositories to git.

You will need to have a copy of your svn repository and to write some rules to specify how the conversion will be done, for instance, you can manage how the tags and branches will be managed writing the appropriate rules. You have examples in /usr/share/doc/svn-all-fast-export/examples

Path to subversion repository is a backup copy of the subversion repository. Note that an svn url will not work due to the undistributed nature of svn.
