I have a LOT ( almost 300 ) old SVN repositories to migrate to git using git2svn.
After considering GOLANG and PYTHON, I finally decided that the easiest way is to use PHP . Might be a bad questionable decision, but it's seemed easy.
So, after 15 minutes , I did have a script that is more or less running ok in tests . Ugly script , but it is a one-timer.
The problem is that the process takes a lot of time , even for simple almost empty repos is can take 30sec. and even a minute. On big ones - even 10min - so before taking it into production, I would like to have some feedback mechanism - so I can actually see what is going on .
..as of now ,the script does output the command feedback like so :
$cmd = "cd ".$GITrepoPath." && svn2git svn://127.0.0.1/". $repoName . " --username " .$SVNusername ." --authors authors.txt --notags --nobranches --notrunk";
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
..but this is only after each repo was finished processing .. not like the real cmd
execution where I can see the steps .
The only question I found that might be close to what I need was here - but honestly - I did not understood much from the answer ...
I know it is just a one-timer script - but the use case had me interested in how to actually achieve that ( and if it is possible ).
I am on a win7 local machine , but would like to know also for *nix if possible .
