Using bzr push to send Bazaar branches to Subversion.

[Dan MacMillan]

Jelmer,

I did try that, with similar results.

'svnadmin create' creates a repository and not a branch, it's true.  But
Subversion doesn't have a command to create branches, because Subversion
doesn't have any concept of a branch.

What I've done now is:

Created a new Subversion repository on our server (which is how I really
want this to work).  I added branches, tags, and trunk directories to
it.  Then I tried this:

2012-08-23 11:37:57.56 D:\funbranch>bzr push
https://hobbit/bogus/svn/trunk
Initialising Subversion metadata cache in
C:\Users\danm\AppData\Local\svn-cache\ea84e1fe-ed48-11e1-9c7b-ca995e37e3
66.
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "trunk/branches".

I tried a few different things ... messing with the layout in
%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0\subversion.conf with no success.

Hmm ... a thought occurs to me now.  This project originated in a
Subversion repository, and it was migrated to Bazaar using bzr
svn-import.  Would that have any bearing on this?  The structure of the
source Subversion repository is significantly different from the
structure of the new repository where I am trying to push it now.  Could
that be confusing the plugin?  I imagine it might because many of the
Bazaar revisions carry Subversion metadata with them (e.g. svn revno)
and most of the file IDs relate to where the files were introduced in
the source Subversion repo.  The project has been in Bazaar for quite
some time now but the project is in maintenance and most of the files
originated in the Subversion repository.

The error message is indeed a bit confusing.

Note that 'svnadmin create' creates a repository and not a branch.

You probably want:

bzr push d:\funbranchsvn\trunk

Cheers,
