Git Import Failure

[adamhill]

I did a:

git fast-export --all --tag-of-filtered-object=drop --signed-tags=strip > repo.fe

followed by a

cm mkrep v@localhost:8087

this resuled in a 0.98 GB repo.fe file

then I tried

cm fast-import v@localhost:8087 repo.fe --stats

and got

]uldn't process command [??b l o b

]ror: Couldn't process command [??b l o b

Is there any way to test the integrity of my .fe file?

Hi Adam,

Is that the only message you're getting? Isn't the output longer?

Looks like it is finding some sort of weird input on the file. This ??blob is definitely strange.

But, is the output fine? I mean, I don't even see a complete "couldn't" word. Correct?

[adamhill]

Correct. That is the verbatim output from the 'fast-import' command, in a normal command prompt.

Wow,

Really weird, never seen it before.

Ok, let's try this.

Create a cm.log.conf file at your client's location (where cm.exe is) with this content

<log4net>

<appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">

<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

<conversionPattern value="%date %thread %property{UserID} %property{TransactionID} %property{ClientMachine} %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />

</layout>

</appender>

<root>

<level value="DEBUG" />

<appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />

</root>

</log4net>

Run cm fast-import newrepo@localhost:8087 repo.fe --stats

And let's see what happens.

Now we get:

I just did a clean clone from our git repo and did a:

git fast-export --all -C --tag-of-filtered-object=drop --signed-tags=strip > repo.fe (with the -C as per the twitter post)

I got a repo.fe of roughly the same size. Did an import again and got:

Well, -C just makes it able to track moves. It won't help more than that.

Something pretty weird is going on there. I never seen the output being eating up. I'll double check our test cases, let me come back to you.

[psantosl]

You're running on Windows, aren't you?

Looks like something is not written in UTF-8 format as expected, or ascii...

Did the exported file received any kind of processing?

Are you able to fast-import it again on git?

I'm running out of ideas, next step would be a GoToMeeting.

[adamhill]

This was a straight "export to a directory" via a clean locally checked out copy.

Can I "fast import" to my local repository via the command line? (Sorry I am a git command line non-user, I am a git UI user)

[psantosl]

??

Not sure what you mean Adam. Take a look at this post: http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2011/10/connecting-plastic-scm-to-github.html You'll find clear instructions there, I think!
