[git] migrating a svn repository with several sub-modules
|
Hi,
I'm studying the migration of MoDisco[1] from SVN to Git.
The MoDisco repository looks like this:
plugins
trunk
pluginA
pluginB
...
tags
R0_7_1
pluginA
pluginB
R0_8_0
pluginA
pluginB
...
branches
0_7
pluginA
pluginB
0_8
pluginA
pluginB
...
features
trunk
featureA
...
tags
R0_7_1
featureA
...
branches
0_7
featureA
...
tests
trunk
tags
branches
examples
trunk
tags
branches
doc
trunk
tags
branches
...
We'd like to migrate this to a single git repository that would eventually look like :
trunk
plugins
pluginA
features
featureA
branches
0_7
plugins
pluginA
features
featureA
tags
R0_7_1
plugins
features
I've tried the migration using git-svn, but it fails on this layout because of the several trunks.
I also tried migrating a copy of the MoDisco svn to the desired layout (by calling many "svn move" in a script) prior to calling git-svn, but git-svn then only looks at revisions starting from the recent move, thereby losing all the previous history.
I suspect git-svn starts from the current trunk and only looks at the history of this trunk at the current location. Can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone have experience with migrating a svn repository with this layout to git?
Or with stitching together several git repositories to form a unique repository with full history?
