I noticed that it preserved continuity when branches got moved around, so the history seems like it will be fully intact. Great job! Still, maybe we should not jump on this version yet: - with svn2git we could split it to several repositories easily (see [1] for status you on related experiments) - neither svn2git nor git-svn seem to support proper conversion of changes to svn:ignore Summer of code could help about the latter: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010_ideas#Add_support_for_svn:ignore_to_svn2git But pushing the conversion further into the future could also be a trade-off reducing efficiency and the number of contributions. I don't feel like proposing anything on that matter at the moment. With that said: what do you and Robin think? Sebastian [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196025#c41

Here's a related question. Did the previous CVS - SVN question generate the svn:ignore files from .cvsignore, or simply discard them? In either case, I'm starting to wonder if the change is just trivial enough to get done in svn2git or git-svn directly. I think other properties are already there. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
