I'm using hggit to export our mercurial repository to git. I'm following the tutorial here: http://arr.gr/blog/2011/10/bitbucket-converting-hg-repositories-to-git/ This however misses all branches that were not merged into default. I guess it's beacuse of the single bookmark (hg bookmark -r default master). Do I need to bookmark each open branch separately? Can hggit somehow pick all open branches (as we have possibly many of those)?
Can hggit somehow pick all open branches
Yes. You miss option in hg-git
branch_bookmark_suffix = SOME-STRING
which translates (transparently) named branches of Mercurial in "branches" of Git (and backward, if needed). Sample from my personal config
[git]
branch_bookmark_suffix =_bkm
All HG-branches will get this _bkm suffix in Git-repo and will be known under this full name as Git-branches, but will return to "stripped" form after appearing in any HG-repo with the same settings as my
