Description: A fast-import based converter to convert repos from svn to git

svn-all-fast-export is a tool to convert your svn repositories to git.

You will need to have a copy of your svn repository and to write some rules to
specify how the conversion will be done, for instance, you can manage how the
tags and branches will be managed writing the appropriate rules. You have
examples in /usr/share/doc/svn-all-fast-export/samples
 
Also, you can provide a file mapping the old svn accounts to the authors names
in the format "Author Name <email>" so will not need to use git filter-branch
to amend the commiters' names.
