Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.3.4-1 Severity: normal I'm glad that I diffed my git-svnimport (run with parameters -i -I .gitignore) of ikiwiki against a checkout of the subversion repository before switching ikiwiki to git, because the git-svnimport command seems to have left out some files:
diff --exclude=.svn --exclude=.git -ur ~/tmp/ikiwiki-git/ ~/src/ikiwiki/
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki: CHANGELOG
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/IkiWiki: Setup.pm
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki: Makefile
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki: NEWS
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/debian: README.Debian
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/debian: compat
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/debian: preinst
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/t: basename.t
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/t: bestlink.t
Only in /home/joey/src/ikiwiki/t: crazy-badass-perl-bug.t
etc
Looking at one missing file, the CHANGELOG file is a symlink, which was
introduced in svn commit r1361. In the git-svnimport repo, that commit
is 8832bc844e4aef26572285713d6a18a2cc2e3b63, and it includes adding
the symlink:

But it later gets removed:

Now, this is very strange, because that commit, which based on the commit
message was r2480 or r2481 in the svn repository (both had the same commit
message, which is kinda unusual, I assume it was r2480 based on the date, but
will show them both here), did NOT delete files.

git-svn perfectly reproduced the subversion head. If git-svnimport
leaves out files like this, its not safe to use and should have big
warning messages, or be dropped. It's currently not at all clear to
a new git user that git-svn is the thing to use, and that git-svnimport
should be avoided.
I can provide a tarball of the ikiwiki svn repo if anyone wants it.
(90 mb.)
I'm not marking this bug as grave simply because the missing data
is still buried in the git repository generated by git-svnimport. Though
it would take quite some digging to get it back out if I hadn't noticed
this before switching to git.
