+</h1>
+<h2>NAME</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p>git-archimport -
+ Import an Arch repository into git
+</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p><tt>git-archimport</tt> [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -o ] [ -a ] [ -f ] [ -T ]
+ [ -D depth ] [ -t tempdir ]
+ &lt;archive/branch&gt; [ &lt;archive/branch&gt; ]</p>
+</div>
+<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p>Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
+and repositories within the namespaces defined by the &lt;archive/branch&gt;
+parameters suppplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
+it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it
+as a merge whenever possible (see discussion below).</p>
+<p>The script expects you to provide the key roots where it can start the import
+from an <em>initial import</em> or <em>tag</em> type of Arch commit. It will follow and
+import new branches within the provided roots.</p>
+<p>It expects to be dealing with one project only. If it sees
+branches that have different roots, it will refuse to run. In that case,
+edit your &lt;archive/branch&gt; parameters to define clearly the scope of the
+import.</p>
+<p><tt>git-archimport</tt> uses <tt>tla</tt> extensively in the background to access the
+Arch repository.
+Make sure you have a recent version of <tt>tla</tt> available in the path. <tt>tla</tt> must
+know about the repositories you pass to <tt>git-archimport</tt>.</p>
+<p>For the initial import <tt>git-archimport</tt> expects to find itself in an empty
+directory. To follow the development of a project that uses Arch, rerun
+<tt>git-archimport</tt> with the same parameters as the initial import to perform
+incremental imports.</p>
+</div>
+<h2>MERGES</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p>Patch merge data from Arch is used to mark merges in git as well. git
+does not care much about tracking patches, and only considers a merge when a
+branch incorporates all the commits since the point they forked. The end result
+is that git will have a good idea of how far branches have diverged. So the
+import process does lose some patch-trading metadata.</p>
+<p>Fortunately, when you try and merge branches imported from Arch,
+git will find a good merge base, and it has a good chance of identifying
+patches that have been traded out-of-sequence between the branches.</p>

+<dl>
+<dt>
+-h
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Display usage.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-v
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Verbose output.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-T
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Many tags. Will create a tag for every commit, reflecting the commit
+ name in the Arch repository.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-f
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Use the fast patchset import strategy. This can be significantly
+ faster for large trees, but cannot handle directory renames or
+ permissions changes. The default strategy is slow and safe.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-o
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Use this for compatibility with old-style branch names used by
+ earlier versions of git-archimport. Old-style branch names
+ were category--branch, whereas new-style branch names are
+ archive,category--branch--version.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-D &lt;depth&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Follow merge ancestry and attempt to import trees that have been
+ merged from. Specify a depth greater than 1 if patch logs have been
+ pruned.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-a
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Attempt to auto-register archives at http://mirrors.sourcecontrol.net
+ This is particularly useful with the -D option.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-t &lt;tmpdir&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Override the default tempdir.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+&lt;archive/branch&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Archive/branch identifier in a format that <tt>tla log</tt> understands.
