I've not used svn in ages, but if the need/want arises I might take a
stab at it. :)
IMO, the easiest way to handle svn repos is to just require a certain
layout for the repository. I'm aware of another tool or two that do
that. And, if you're in possession of one of those "multiple project"
svn repos that have a layout like: /proj1/{trunk,tags,branches}
/proj2/{trunk,tags,branches}, I'd do an svndump (or is that svnadmin
dump?) and run it through a filter to get multiple dumps - one per
project.At the moment, the tool is pretty "dumb" it doesn't exactly use all the metadata git gives it. In particularly, I want to play with a git repo that uses the "notes" object type and see if I can convert those to some sort of simplistic wiki page. The other feature that's next on the list is handling branches and tags properly. There'll be a bit of information lost unless fossil tags can contain comments (something which, if possible, isn't documented that I can find). I need to spend some more time with the git fast-import man page to fully grok format that git fast-export gives me. I'd definitely be interested in hearing feedback from people about improvements I could make (and/or bug fixes). I've only tested this on very simple repositories (though, one of them did have multiple root commits). -B On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 9:35 PM, Joshua Paine <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 2010-03-03 at 06:51 +0200, Ron Aaron wrote: >> Very cool!
