I have done a couple test imports of SF CVS into Subversion on my headius.com server. We are trying to decide if we should just import TRUNK, which in cvs2svn means nothing but HEAD with no tags or branches brought along, or if we should import everything and delete what we want to clean up.

The two options are available at http://www.headius.com/svn/repos2 and repos3; repos2 = full import and repos3 = trunk only.

At the moment I'm leaning toward trunk only; we would then immediately tag 090 and proceed from there. All historical revisions are still available in SF CVS and it reduces the overall repository size by about 500 changesets. There are a number of old branches we no longer care about and most of the historical tags are only useful for reference purposes.

I'd like input from the peanut gallery.

FYI, for those of you using Eclipse, I would strongly recommend the Subversive SVN plugin over Subclipse; every time I've tried to use Subclipse for anything nontrivial it blows up or just behaves terribly. Subversive has only misbehaved once, and I haven't been able to reproduce it. It also by default enforces and enhances the "standard" SVN layout of /trunk, /branches, and /tags. I argued in vain with the Subclipse guys for such a feature and they didn't see its merits. So be it.

Subversive is available from polarion.com.
