  "github_readme_excerpt": "Installation:\n=============\n\nPlace these scripts anywhere in `$PATH` (e.g. create symlinks in\n`/usr/local/bin`) and make sure they are executable, just like any other\nscript. The `git` command will know how to find them.\n\n\nUsage:\n======\n\nSee [my detailed blog post][1] for a how-to.\n\n[1]: http://blog.woobling.org/2009/06/git-svn-abandon.html\n\nIn brief:\n\n1. Install (above), then git svn clone your repo, preferably\n   using Sam Vilain\u0027s [svn-merge-attrs branch]\n   (http://github.com/samv/git/tree/svn-merge-attrs), using\n   `--prefix svn`.  This assumes standard layout.\n\n2. Inside the repo run `git svn-abandon-fix-refs`\n\n3. Create `.git/info/grafts` file for merge commits\n   (might not be necessary with the svn-merge-attrs branch).\n   This is just if you have any svn merges that occurred between branches.\n\n4. Run `git-svn-abandon-cleanup`\n\nThe resulting repository should have only `refs/heads/*` and tags.\nAll svn tags are recreated as annotated tags.\n\n`git-svn-id:` and svk message pollution is cleaned up.\n\nWhen you have a merge commit that is not recognized as such, the grafts file\ncan be used to add additional parents, preserving history information.\n\nTroubleshooting:\n=======\n\nYou may get this error message:\n\n    % git svn-abandon-fix-refs\n    git: \u0027svn-abandon-fix-refs\u0027 is not a git-command. See \u0027git --help\u0027.\n\nThis means you haven\u0027t placed those scripts in your `PATH`.\n\n\nAlternatives\n=======\n\nIf this script is too slow for a large repository, or doesn\u0027t handle something\ncomplicated look into Snerp Vortex:\n\n\thttp://github.com/rcaputo/snerp-vortex\n\nFor a simpler approach, several `svn2git` scripts exist, in both Ruby and Perl.\n\nMaintenance:\n=======\n\nThese commands are more for abandoning SVN in favour of git and getting as\nclean a history as possible. Maintenance is just like a normal git repository.\n\nAfter `git svn-abandon-cleanup` has been run, `git svn rebase` can\u0027t be run\nanymore, so you can\u0027t bring it up to date without keeping the old SVN repo\naround and grafting ",
