I may be extremely dense, but how it this supposed to work?

$ mkdir test
$ cd test

Okay, maybe getting the DARCSREPO via ssh isn't supported, let me try one via http:

$ /usr/src/darcs-to-git/darcs-to-git http://koldfront.dk/darcs/mosaic-2.7b5/
Running: ["darcs", "-v"]
Running: ["darcs", "init"]
Running: ["git-init"]

from /usr/src/darcs-to-git/darcs-to-git:185
$

No, still no go.

Perhaps "usage: darcs-to-git DARCSREPO" should say "usage: darcs-to-git PATHTOLOCALDIRCONTAININGADARCSREPO"?

Let me try that:

$ darcs get http://koldfront.dk/darcs/mosaic-2.7b5/
Copying patch 9 of 9... done.
Applying patch 9 of 9... done.
Finished getting.
$ mkdir hop
$ cd hop

Hey, it worked, cool!

Thanks for creating darcs-to-git and sharing it. May I suggest the attached tiny patch?

Best regards,

Adam.

P.S. As you can see, I'm not that used to git yet...

Hint at the fact that the darcs repository must be a local one.

Creates git repositories from darcs repositories

- usage: darcs-to-git DARCSREPO
+ usage: darcs-to-git DARCSREPODIR

1. Create an *empty* directory that will become the new git repository
2. From inside that directory, run this program, passing the location
- of the source darcs repo as a parameter
+ of the local source darcs repo as a parameter

The program will git-init the empty directory, and migrate all patches
in the source darcs repo into commits in that repository.
