===== Converting a /etc svk repository to git =====

e.g. one from [[:howto/svk/manage_etc|manage etc with svk]]
<code>
aptitude install git-arch git-svn
# everybody needs restore, nobody want backups
cp -a /etc /root
cd /etc
git svn init -t tags -b branches -T etc file:///root/.svk/local
git svn fetch --repack 1000
git add .
git commit -am"commit after migration from svk to git"
</code>
