sebb> -1, because that loses all the SVN history. I'm afraid you are wrong. Could you please clarify what do you mean? Note: SVN repository is NEVER killed. It would still be around in read-only mode.
sebb> AFAICT, there is no way to find historic SVN revisions in the cleaned-up repo SVN revision numbers (and branch names) are present in commit messages. For instance: https://github.com/vlsi/jmeter-git-cleanup-result/commit/561048407dab3afcfd880b168fabdeeeabb8422d There are two references: 1) Reference to SVN: git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/trunk@1860117 2) Reference to "old Git mirror": Former-commit-id: 184a9d5a5ea8badd1b1616dad0ff2f327a9b0756 sebb> Also, where in the history are the files that have been deleted? The deleted files are still available via SVN read-only mirror. sebb> I think INFRA need to review the script to make sure that it preserves sebb> all necessary provenance. Great note, indeed. That is up to them though. I don't think we can do much here. sebb> -1 to combining Git with Gradle for the reasons stated above. What about the use of https://github.com/vlsi/jmeter-git-cleanup-result for Git? It looks like the only your concerns were "missing SVN revisions" (which are present) and "lost files" (which will be available through read-only SVN). I read that as you have no concerns regarding jmeter-git-cleanup-result besides the one that INFRA should check that somehow. Vladimir
