Support `--convert .` for reading code from standard input
I have an extensive xml file. It contains an xsd definition from which I generated an xml parser and class definitions via generateDS. Now I want to use it in the git-history import. I can also install the module manually via a setup.py, but I wanted to ask if you think adding a way to import local python modules is a good idea.
Nevertheless great tool! I have already some repos up and running :)
This came up in another of my projects just a few weeks ago:
- https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/353
https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/353#issuecomment-991376639 has a workaround that should work with git-history too:
PYTHONPATH=. git-history ... --import transform
So if your module is called transform.py in the current directory the above should cause it to be imported.
Implementing the same solution as https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/353 feels like a good idea to me.
