svnimport is for one-off transformation, i.e. for moving from Subversion to Git. Using git-svn is the way to have Git as your Subversion client -- though you have to remember that it always rebases so your repository cannot be a peer in a Git repository group, it is only a Subversion client. The same applies for Mercurial but not for Bazaar, which can treat the Subversion repository in a Bazaar branch poeer group. There are ways of bridging in Git and Mercurial, but it gets painful. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
