And then git-svnimport right after ;-) yes, cvs2svn is quite top notch regarding the brokenness in repos it tole= rates. however, going from svn to git is equally complicated again, as y= ou can't nicely convert svn's copy-to-branch if it again copies files fro= m different revisions. you just converted the problem to svn, but you di= dn't make it go away. cheers simon --=20 Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low =E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC NOW!1 +++= Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \ --------------enig351BF541A0487AC4E915E7F1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (DragonFly) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFuZ2fr5S+dk6z85oRAiA0AKCIfvOBaJO016IYPmT2wQ1YjqPM6wCgkLak pn9WiriQBQmG0VxAtiILa3g= =p2Gv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig351BF541A0487AC4E915E7F1--
