Bazaar Git Plugin

Git-import doesn't work for some Gitorious repos

Asked by Saikrishna Arcot

Hi,

I tried using git-import on a Gitorious repo, but it didn't work.

bzr git-import git://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear.git
bzr: ERROR: The remote server unexpectedly closed the connection.

bzr git-import git://gitorious.org/fg/simgear.git
bzr: ERROR: The remote server unexpectedly closed the connection.

bzr git-import git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git
bzr: ERROR: The remote server unexpectedly closed the connection.

However, it did (partially) work on this repo (because it was small?) (partially because it contains submodules, but it got past the above error and got some data).

bzr git-import git://gitorious.org/fg/fgmeta.git
bzr: ERROR: The repository you are fetching from contains submodules, which are not yet supported.

It does work on git://gitorious.org/fg/maclauncher.git

 Not sure what's happening here. This might be a bug in dulwich.

You can work around it by cloning the repository locally first:

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear.git fg.git
$ bzr git-import fg.git fg.bzr

This is a known limitation in bzr-git.

 Unfortunately it looks like this repository contains submodules as well,
so you won't have much like importing it either even if you clone it
locally first.
