That would work. To make an import tool for pre-history should really be no more difficult than making a generic import tool. Except for one problem: When you start your new Fossil repository, you'll have an initial version, call is "A". When you later import the pre-history from SVN, version A will not be linked to its parent in SVN. In other words, there will be a gap between the last SVN version and the first Fossil version. But I'm thinking that will be just a minor hiccup. And it is within the realm of possibility that we could enhance Fossil to allow you to fix that gap; the Fossil file format would support such a thing - it has just not been implemented yet. > > We are interested only in two svn branches, and it does not matter much if > we > loose the 'merge' information. > > Regards, > Lluís. > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > -- D.
