How to import SVN repository

Question

Hello expert,

When I tried to import SVN repository, the following error occurred.

Svn checkout failed: <class 'bitbucket.apps.async.tasks.ImportException'>: Subversion repo imports are temporarily disabled.

Could you tell me how to import SVN repository?

Regards,

Yasu

Thank you for your reply. I followed Migration to Git on your tutorials.

But error occurred when I executed "java -jar ~/svn-migration-scripts.jar verify."

The following message appeared on my RHEL7.2.

Git: using version 1.9.0

Subversion: using version 1.7.14

Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC(@INC contains: /usr/local/share/perl5 .....)

...

git-svn: ERROR: Unable to determine version.

Regards,

Hi Yasuhiro! Bitbucket doesn't support SVN repositories, if you'd like to use Bitbucket you'll need to migrate to Git or Mercurial, you can follow the tutorials Migrating to Git or Migrating to Mercurial.

According to this feature request BSERV-2597, the Bitbucket Server team has no plans to add SVN support in the near future. Alternatively, you can use SVN Mirror add-on that enables transparent sync between SVN and Bitbucket repositories, so your team can use both SVN and Git at the same time.

Hope that helps!
