After a few months, I started using "git svn" for day-to-day updating (to take advantage of offline commits, etc). git-svn has been fantastic, but since it doesn't maintain AuthorDate (or, if it does, I don't know how to ask it to do so), I'd like to migrate that SVN repo to a git repo. Is there any straightforward way to recover the "original" git commits (spread out across two different workstations), so I can reinstate the proper AuthorDate information? Does this request even make sense? I can have all the original data in one place, and I've got plenty of CPU and RAM to throw at the problem: server.svn/... workstation1.git/... workstation2.git/... I'm hoping that it can be done with sufficient trawling through the reflog, but I thought I'd ask before trying to do the conversion myself. Thanks in advance, Tony
