<h3>convert</h3>
<p>convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [REVMAP]]
</pre>
<p>Accepted source formats [identifiers]:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Mercurial [hg]</li>
<li>CVS [cvs]</li>
<li>Darcs [darcs]</li>

</ul>
<p>Accepted destination formats [identifiers]:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Mercurial [hg]</li>
<li>Subversion [svn] (history on branches is not preserved)</li>
</ul>
<p>If no revision is given, all revisions will be converted.
Otherwise, convert will only import up to the named revision
(given in a format understood by the source).</p>
<p>If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the
basename of the source with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-hg</span></tt> appended. If the destination
repository doesn't exist, it will be created.</p>
<p>By default, all sources except Mercurial will use --branchsort.
Mercurial uses --sourcesort to preserve original revision numbers
order. Sort modes have the following effects:</p>
<table class="docutils option-list" frame="void" rules="none">
<col class="option" />
<col class="description" />
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--branchsort</span></kbd></td>
<td>convert from parent to child revision when possible,
which means branches are usually converted one after
the other. It generates more compact repositories.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--datesort</span></kbd></td>
<td>sort revisions by date. Converted repositories have
good-looking changelogs but are often an order of
magnitude larger than the same ones generated by
--branchsort.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--sourcesort</span></kbd></td>
<td>try to preserve source revisions order, only
supported by Mercurial sources.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--closesort</span></kbd></td>
<td>try to move closed revisions as close as possible
to parent branches, only supported by Mercurial
sources.</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>If <tt class="docutils literal">REVMAP</tt> isn't given, it will be put in a default location
(<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><dest>/.hg/shamap</span></tt> by default). The <tt class="docutils literal">REVMAP</tt> is a simple
text file that maps each source commit ID to the destination ID
for that revision, like so:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
<source ID> <destination ID>
</pre>
<p>If the file doesn't exist, it's automatically created. It's
updated on each commit copied, so <a class="reference external" href="hg-convert.html"><tt class="docutils literal">hg convert</tt></a> can be interrupted
and can be run repeatedly to copy new commits.</p>
<p>The authormap is a simple text file that maps each source commit
author to a destination commit author. It is handy for source SCMs
that use unix logins to identify authors (e.g.: CVS). One line per
author mapping and the line format is:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
source author = destination author
</pre>
<p>Empty lines and lines starting with a <tt class="docutils literal">#</tt> are ignored.</p>
<p>The filemap is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files
and directories. Each line can contain one of the following
directives:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
include path/to/file-or-dir
exclude path/to/file-or-dir
rename path/to/source path/to/destination
</pre>
<p>Comment lines start with <tt class="docutils literal">#</tt>. A specified path matches if it
equals the full relative name of a file or one of its parent
directories. The <tt class="docutils literal">include</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">exclude</tt> directive with the
longest matching path applies, so line order does not matter.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal">include</tt> directive causes a file, or all files under a
directory, to be included in the destination repository. The default
if there are no <tt class="docutils literal">include</tt> statements is to include everything.
If there are any <tt class="docutils literal">include</tt> statements, nothing else is included.
The <tt class="docutils literal">exclude</tt> directive causes files or directories to
be omitted. The <tt class="docutils literal">rename</tt> directive renames a file or directory if
it is converted. To rename from a subdirectory into the root of
the repository, use <tt class="docutils literal">.</tt> as the path to rename to.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--full</span></tt> will make sure the converted changesets contain exactly
the right files with the right content. It will make a full
conversion of all files, not just the ones that have
changed. Files that already are correct will not be changed. This
can be used to apply filemap changes when converting
incrementally. This is currently only supported for Mercurial and
Subversion.</p>
<p>The splicemap is a file that allows insertion of synthetic
history, letting you specify the parents of a revision. This is
useful if you want to e.g. give a Subversion merge two parents, or
graft two disconnected series of history together. Each entry
contains a key, followed by a space, followed by one or two
comma-separated values:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
key parent1, parent2
</pre>
<p>The key is the revision ID in the source
revision control system whose parents should be modified (same
format as a key in .hg/shamap). The values are the revision IDs
(in either the source or destination revision control system) that
should be used as the new parents for that node. For example, if
you have merged "release-1.0" into "trunk", then you should
specify the revision on "trunk" as the first parent and the one on
the "release-1.0" branch as the second.</p>
<p>The branchmap is a file that allows you to rename a branch when it is
being brought in from whatever external repository. When used in
conjunction with a splicemap, it allows for a powerful combination
to help fix even the most badly mismanaged repositories and turn them
into nicely structured Mercurial repositories. The branchmap contains
lines of the form:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
original_branch_name new_branch_name
</pre>
<p>where "original_branch_name" is the name of the branch in the
source repository, and "new_branch_name" is the name of the branch
is the destination repository. No whitespace is allowed in the new
branch name. This can be used to (for instance) move code in one
repository from "default" to a named branch.</p>

to indicate the starting point of what will be converted. Direct
access to the repository files is not needed, unless of course the
repository is <tt class="docutils literal">:local:</tt>. The conversion uses the top level
directory in the sandbox to find the CVS repository, and then uses
CVS rlog commands to find files to convert. This means that unless
a filemap is given, all files under the starting directory will be
converted, and that any directory reorganization in the CVS
sandbox is ignored.</p>

<p>An additional "debugcvsps" Mercurial command allows the builtin
changeset merging code to be run without doing a conversion. Its
parameters and output are similar to that of cvsps 2.1. Please see

<h4>Subversion Source</h4>
<p>Subversion source detects classical trunk/branches/tags layouts.
By default, the supplied <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">svn://repo/path/</span></tt> source URL is
converted as a single branch. If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">svn://repo/path/trunk</span></tt> exists
it replaces the default branch. If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">svn://repo/path/branches</span></tt>

converted branches. Default <tt class="docutils literal">trunk</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">branches</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">tags</tt>
values can be overridden with following options. Set them to paths
