How can I find the Git commit corresponding to a Subversion revision?

26 Nov 2013 - git, subversion

Let S be the URL of a Subversion repository that has been migrated to a Git repository at URL G using git-svn. Given the revision number R of a revision of S, the problem is to find a commit C in G that corresponds to R.

For example, let S = http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/1309183/tomcat/trunk/, G = https://github.com/apache/tomcat.git, and R = 1309183.

The first step is find the largest revision number R2 such that R2 <= R and S is affected by R2. The following command will return R2.

svn list --verbose S@R | grep "\./" | awk '{split($0,a," "); print a[1]}'

In this case, the above command would look as follows.

svn list --verbose http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/@1309183 | grep "\./" | awk '{split($0,a," "); print a[1]}'

Next, use a command of the form below to find C.

git log | grep "@R2" -C 10

In this case, the above command should be instantiated as follows.

git log | grep "@1307597" -C 10
