9 - Git and Other Systems

1 - Git as a Client

• git svn allows you to use git locally and connect to a svn server to push code
• git-remote-hg lets you use mercurial as a remote (I think)
• git-remote-bzr allows you to work with bazaar
• git-fusion lets you interact with perforce
• git p4 is another less complete solution
• git tf and git tfs are options while git tf is no longer supported

2 - Migrating to Git

• Can clone SVN pretty trivially with a git svn clone but you will need to map the users if you want good history
• hg-fast-export will export your mercurial repos
• bzr-fastimport will migrate bazaar
