history

Project history and usage

SubGit is a TMate Software tool for converting and synchronizing Subversion repositories with Git. The official documentation describes both one-time SVN-to-Git import and Git/SVN mirror workflows where pushes to Git are translated to SVN and SVN commits are translated back to Git.

Project history

The documentation says SubGit was developed from the beginning as an alternative to git-svn, aimed at resolving many git-svn limitations. Its release notes cover version history since 1.0 and show the product evolving around repository translation, mirror modes, Git hosting integrations, shared daemon operation, and SVNKit/JGit updates.

Adoption history

SubGit is packaged as a Homebrew cask in the input facts and distributed by the vendor as a downloadable zip. Official docs include guides for GitLab, GitHub, Gerrit, Bitbucket Server, and Gogs, reflecting adoption around organizations moving from Subversion to Git while keeping legacy SVN workflows alive.

How it is used

Common CLI usage starts with `subgit configure` to create or configure a bare Git mirror, editing `repos.git/subgit/config` and author mappings, then running `subgit install` for ongoing mirroring or `subgit import` for one-time import. The quick how-to notes that SVN credentials may come from the user's `~/.subversion` cache.

Why package nerds care

SubGit is relevant to package and release engineers because it sits at the boundary between two version-control histories. It exists for teams that cannot simply abandon SVN, so packagers care about repeatable install locations, Java requirements, license limits, credential handling, Git hosting integrations, and long-running daemon behavior.

Timeline

  • 2012: Vendor site footer copyright begins at 2012, matching SubGit's long-running commercial distribution era.
  • 2.0.0: Release notes introduced remote Subversion repository support and one-shot import from SVN to Git.
  • 3.0.0: Release notes introduced automated layout detection, out-of-sync recovery, shared background daemon support, script-based author mapping, and Git credential-helper support.
  • 3.3.18: Release notes list dependency updates for known vulnerabilities and shared daemon scheduler improvements.

Related projects
