Tailor VersionOne

Tailor is a tool to migrate changesets between ArX, Bazaar, Bazaar-NG, CVS, Codeville, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, Subversion and Tla repositories.

It perform its job executing several MigrationSteps, using a ReplayMechanism? that basically fetches the changesets from any of the source backends and effectively replay each one on the target system. The process can be configured very deeply in several ways, from tweaking a relatively simple configuration file to writing pre- and post- PythonHooks?.

It was written by Lele and it is implemented in Python.

How to get

Sources

You can fetch a copy of Tailor sources in two ways:

1. Using darcs to get a current snapshot of them directly from master repository:

      darcs get --partial http://darcs.arstecnica.it/tailor
   

   Omit the --partial flag if you really want the whole history.

2. Obtaining the tarball of the last tagged and released version, from  http://darcs.arstecnica.it/

Information

This wiki tries to collect the knowledge around tailor, even if a significant portion of it is still on the  Tailor page on  Darcs wiki.

There is a low traffic  mailing list (to be able to write a message to the ML you have to subscribe first), where we debate either problems or enhancements.

There is also a group of users that keeps the #tailor channel open on irc.freenode.net. The author is usually there when he's online, known as lelit.
