dvcs-ripper

Rip web accessible (distributed) version control systems: SVN, GIT, Mercurial/hg, bzr, ...

It can rip repositories even when directory browsing is turned off.

Make sure to position yourself in empty directory where you want repositories to be downloaded/cloned.

Requirements

• Perl
• Perl modules:
  • required: LWP, IO::Socket::SSL
  • for newer SVN: DBD::SQlite and DBI
  • for faster GIT: Parallel::ForkManager, Redis and Algorithm::Combinatorics
• (D)VCS client of what you want to rip (cvs, svn, git, hg, bzr, ...)

Requirements on Debian/Ubuntu

You can easily install perl requirements:

sudo apt-get install perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl libclass-dbi-perl libio-all-lwp-perl

Optional requirements (faster git rip): sudo apt-get install libparallel-forkmanager-perl libredis-perl libalgorithm-combinatorics-perl

And if you need all clients supported:

sudo apt-get install cvs subversion git bzr mercurial

Docker

In case you just want docker version, it is here:

https://github.com/kost/docker-webscan/tree/master/alpine-dvcs-ripper

Just say something like:

docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/host/work:/work:rw k0st/alpine-dvcs-ripper rip-git.pl -v -u http://www.example.org/.git

GIT

Example run (for git):

rip-git.pl -v -u http://www.example.com/.git/

It will automatically do git checkout -f

or if you would like to ignore SSL certification verification (with -s):

rip-git.pl -s -v -u http://www.example.com/.git/

Mercurial/HG

Example run (for hg):

rip-hg.pl -v -u http://www.example.com/.hg/

It will automatically do hg revert <file>

or if you would like to ignore SSL certification verification (with -s):

rip-hg.pl -s -v -u http://www.example.com/.hg/

Bazaar/bzr

Example run (for bzr):

rip-bzr.pl -v -u http://www.example.com/.bzr/

It will automatically do bzr revert

or if you would like to ignore SSL certification verification (with -s):

rip-bzr.pl -s -v -u http://www.example.com/.bzr/

SVN

It supports OLDER and NEWER version of svn client formats. Older is with .svn files in every directory, while newer version have single .svn directory and wc.db in .svn directory. It will automatically detect which format is used on the target.

Example run (for SVN):

rip-svn.pl -v -u http://www.example.com/.svn/

It will automatically do svn revert -R .

CVS

Example run (for CVS):

rip-cvs.pl -v -u http://www.example.com/CVS/

This will not rip CVS, but it will display useful info.

Advance usage examples

Some examples how it can be used

Output handling

Download git tree to specific output dir:

rip-git.pl -o /my/previously/made/dir -v -u http://www.example.com/.git/

Download git tree to specific output dir (creating dir http__www.example.com_.git_ for url):

rip-git.pl -m -o /dir -v -u http://www.example.com/.git/

Redis usage with docker

Create Redis docker container:

docker run --rm --name myredis -it -v /my/host/dir/data:/data:rw k0st/alpine-redis

In another terminal, just link redis container and say something like this:

docker run --rm --link=myredis:redis -it -v /path/to/host/work:/work:rw k0st/alpine-dvcs-ripper rip-git.pl -e docker -v -u http://www.example.org/.git -m -o /work

Using redis for resuming work of ripping

Create Redis docker container:

docker run --name redisdvcs -it -v /my/host/dir/data:/data:rw k0st/alpine-redis

In another terminal, just link redis container and say something like this:

docker run --link=redisdvcs:redis -it -v /path/to/host/work:/work:rw k0st/alpine-dvcs-ripper rip-git.pl -n -e docker -v -u http://www.example.org/.git -m -o /work

Abusing redis for massive parallel tasks

Create global NFS and mount /work on each client. Create global Redis docker container:

docker run --name redisdvcs -it -v /my/host/dir/data:/data:rw k0st/alpine-redis

In another terminal, just link redis container and say something like this on 1st client

docker run -it -v /path/to/host/work:/work:rw k0st/alpine-dvcs-ripper rip-git.pl -n -e global.docker.ip -v -u http://www.example.org/.git -t 10 -c -m -o /work

In another terminal, just link redis container and say something like this on 2nd client:

docker run -it -v /path/to/host/work:/work:rw k0st/alpine-dvcs-ripper rip-git.pl -n -e global.docker.ip -v -u http://www.example.org/.git -t 10 -c -m -o /work

and so on...

You need to perform git checkout -f yourself on the end - of course!

Future

Feel free to implement something and send pull request. Feel free to suggest any feature. Lot of features actually were implemented by request

ToDo
