425 <div class="paragraph"><p>Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
427 parameters supplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
428 it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it
429 as a merge whenever possible (see discussion below).</p></div>
430 <div class="paragraph"><p>The script expects you to provide the key roots where it can start the import
432 import new branches within the provided roots.</p></div>
434 branches that have different roots, it will refuse to run. In that case,
436 import.</p></div>
437 <div class="paragraph"><p><em>git archimport</em> uses <tt>tla</tt> extensively in the background to access the
438 Arch repository.
441 <div class="paragraph"><p>For the initial import, <em>git archimport</em> expects to find itself in an empty
442 directory. To follow the development of a project that uses Arch, rerun
444 incremental imports.</p></div>
445 <div class="paragraph"><p>While <em>git archimport</em> will try to create sensible branch names for the
446 archives that it imports, it is also possible to specify git branch names
448 parameter, separated by a colon. This way, you can shorten the Arch
449 branch names and convert Arch jargon to git jargon, for example mapping a
452 result will make the most sense only if no commits are made to the first
453 branch, after the second branch is created. Still, this is useful to
454 convert Arch repositories that had been rotated periodically.</p></div>
455 </div>
459 does not care much about tracking patches, and only considers a merge when a
460 branch incorporates all the commits since the point they forked. The end result
461 is that git will have a good idea of how far branches have diverged. So the
462 import process does lose some patch-trading metadata.</p></div>
464 git will find a good merge base, and it has a good chance of identifying
465 patches that have been traded out-of-sequence between the branches.</p></div>

500 Use the fast patchset import strategy. This can be significantly
501 faster for large trees, but cannot handle directory renames or
502 permissions changes. The default strategy is slow and safe.

510 Use this for compatibility with old-style branch names used by
