I searched related questions but I couldn't find anything matching my specific situation: I have some old repository archives from an SVN server that was taken down years ago. They're tarballs of the original repository structure on the server. What I want to do is convert them to git repositories as a basis for future work/reviving the projects. I've already read several tutorials about the conversion process, and I think I can figure out the authors conversion, branches mapping, etc., but they all assume you have an SVN server and a url for the repository. Do I need to install and setup and SVN server to do this conversion, or is there some way I can point either git clone or svn2git (or another tool) at the repo dump I have?

We've broken down the SVN-to-Git migration process into 5 simple steps: Prepare your environment for the migration. Convert the SVN repository to a local Git repository. Synchronize the local Git repository when the SVN repository changes.
Prepare a migration environment. Convert the source SVN repository to a local Git repository. (Optional) Synchronize the local Git repository with any changes from SVN repository while developers continue using SVN. Push the local Git repository to a remote Git repository hosted on Azure Repos.
# Clone a repo with standard SVN directory layout (like git clone): git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project --stdlayout --prefix svn/ # Or, if the repo uses a non-standard directory layout: git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project -T tr -b branch -t tag --prefix svn/ # View all branches and tags you have ...
install subversion locally in order to import your dump, then with git-svn package.
You can use git svn clone file:///path/to/svn/repo /path/to/empty/dir
