hg-fast-import.py - mercurial to bzr converter using bzr fast-import
Legal
=====
Most hg-* scripts are licensed under the MIT license[0] and were written
by Rocco Rutte <pdmef@gmx.net> with hints and help from the git list and
#mercurial on freenode. hg-fast-export[1] was integrated into
bzr-fastimport by Ian Clatworthy with permission from Rocco.
Usage
=====
Using hg-fast-export is quite simple:
bzr init-repo foo.bzr
cd foo.bzr
hg-fast-import.py -r <repo> | bzr fast-import -
Notes/Limitations
=================
hg-fast-import supports multiple branches but only named branches with exactly
one head each. Otherwise commits to the tip of these heads within branch
will get flattened into merge commits.
Design
======
hg-fast-import.py was designed in a way that doesn't require a 2-pass mechanism
or any prior repository analysis: if just outputs what it finds.
This also implies that it heavily relies on strictly
linear ordering of changesets from hg, i.e. its append-only storage
model so that changesets hg-fast-import already saw never get modified.
Todo
====
Test incremental imports, particularly handling of branches and tags.
For one-time conversions, everything should be fine.
