Converting svn repository to bazaar

To conver SVN repository to bazaar use following steps:

1. Go to parent folder of svn repository folder.
2. If access to Internet is via proxy server then export proxy using:

   export http_proxy='http://proxy.virtual-labs.ac.in:8080/'

3. Download tool called svn2bzr.py using command 'bzr branch lp:svn2bzr'
4. Dump SVN repository to a file using:

   svnadmin dump <svn-repo-dir> > repo.dump

   where <svn-repo-dir> should be replaced with name of SVN repository directory

5. Create a bazaar branch using SVN repository using:

   ./svn2bzr/svn2bzr.py repo.dump branch1

Note that './svn2bzr/svn2bzr.py <(svnadmin dump svn-repo1) branch1' does not works as svn2bzr.py tries to seek into file being read. So there is no option to avoid creation of dump file in case of large SVN repositories.
