 git-archimport(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-archimport -
  Import an Arch repository into git
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="verseblock">
 <div class="content"><em>git-archimport</em> [-h] [-v] [-o] [-a] [-f] [-T] [-D depth] [-t tempdir]
  &lt;archive/branch&gt; [ &lt;archive/branch&gt; ]</div></div>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
 and repositories within the namespaces defined by the &lt;archive/branch&gt;
 parameters supplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
 it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it
 as a merge whenever possible (see discussion below).</p>
 <p>The script expects you to provide the key roots where it can start the import
 from an <em>initial import</em> or <em>tag</em> type of Arch commit. It will follow and
 import new branches within the provided roots.</p>
 <p>It expects to be dealing with one project only. If it sees
 branches that have different roots, it will refuse to run. In that case,
 edit your &lt;archive/branch&gt; parameters to define clearly the scope of the
 import.</p>
 <p><tt>git-archimport</tt> uses <tt>tla</tt> extensively in the background to access the
 Arch repository.
 Make sure you have a recent version of <tt>tla</tt> available in the path. <tt>tla</tt> must
 know about the repositories you pass to <tt>git-archimport</tt>.</p>
 <p>For the initial import <tt>git-archimport</tt> expects to find itself in an empty
 directory. To follow the development of a project that uses Arch, rerun
 <tt>git-archimport</tt> with the same parameters as the initial import to perform
 incremental imports.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>MERGES</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>Patch merge data from Arch is used to mark merges in git as well. git
 does not care much about tracking patches, and only considers a merge when a
 branch incorporates all the commits since the point they forked. The end result
 is that git will have a good idea of how far branches have diverged. So the
 import process does lose some patch-trading metadata.</p>
 <p>Fortunately, when you try and merge branches imported from Arch,
 git will find a good merge base, and it has a good chance of identifying
 patches that have been traded out-of-sequence between the branches.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 -h
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Display usage.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -v
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Verbose output.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -T
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Many tags. Will create a tag for every commit, reflecting the commit
  name in the Arch repository.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -f
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Use the fast patchset import strategy. This can be significantly
  faster for large trees, but cannot handle directory renames or
  permissions changes. The default strategy is slow and safe.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -o
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Use this for compatibility with old-style branch names used by
  earlier versions of git-archimport. Old-style branch names
  were category--branch, whereas new-style branch names are
  archive,category--branch--version.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -D &lt;depth&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Follow merge ancestry and attempt to import trees that have been
  merged from. Specify a depth greater than 1 if patch logs have been
  pruned.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -a
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Attempt to auto-register archives at http://mirrors.sourcecontrol.net
  This is particularly useful with the -D option.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -t &lt;tmpdir&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Override the default tempdir.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;archive/branch&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Archive/branch identifier in a format that <tt>tla log</tt> understands.
 </p>
 </dd>
