Guys, this might be a trivial or already answered question, but I'm not able to find anything on the subject (perhaps I'm not sure what to ask about in the git terminology). As a background -- we are planning to migrate Kaldi from the sf.net svn repository to github. There are already Kaldi repositories in github (created by git svn clone and pushing to github), created by independent developers. As far as I understand, looking at the sha sums, from git POV these are completely different repositories. Is there some way how to explain to git, that content-wise, these are the same directories?
To give you a concrete example: Let's take these two repositories https://github.com/jtrmal/kaldi https://github.com/vimal-manohar91/kaldi-git They share the trunk (master), but when I clone my repo: git clone https://github.com/jtrmal/kaldi git remote add vimal https://github.com/vimal-manohar91/kaldi-git and then for example: git checkout dur-model git merge vimal/DCCA will generate a conflict for (possibly) every file in the repository and will auto-resolve most/some of them, but there still be ~1000 conflicted files. That is a nightmare. Is there some way how to "explain" git that these two repositories are (almost) the same, content-wise?
