- The script expects you to provide the key roots where it can start the
- import from an 'initial import' or 'tag' type of Arch commit. It will
- then follow all the branching and tagging within the provided roots.
+Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
+and repositories within the namespaces defined by the <archive/branch>
+parameters suppplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
+it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it
+as a merge whenever possible.
- It will die if it sees branches that have different roots.
+See man (1) git-archimport for more details.
-=head2 TODO
+=head1 TODO
- - keep track of merged patches, and mark a git merge when it happens
- - smarter rules to parse the archive history "up" and "down"
- - be able to continue an import where we left off
+ - create tag objects instead of ref tags
- audit shell-escaping of filenames
+ - better handling of temp directories
+ - use GIT_DIR instead of hardcoded ".git"
+ - hide our private tags somewhere smarter
+ - find a way to make "cat *patches | patch" safe even when patchfiles are missing newlines
