Hi Tomas, I am feeling ok now with this mechanism, but I forgot to include one small repository from svn so the chain is not yet complete.
now in order to insert a bunch of commits in between other commits, is it enough to connect top and bottom via grafts and that's it ? can I do it in one step - line by line in the grafts file or only one after the other in 2 steps ? I tried it it once but some data was lost after it from some reason so had to roll back by deleting the grafts file before running filter-branch. Thanks, Gabby.
