While I agree that the migration from Subversion to Git can be somewhat labour-intensive, it can be an ongoing activity, simply migrating piece by piece.
Since there is a particular issue with the Maven release plugin creating what is normally interpreted as Git branches (as opposed to Git tags) one does normally need to run some correct-the-history type scripts following the standard migration. Of course, the more nonstandard of a Subversion stucture one originates from, the more complex these scripts become. The migration itself is - in my experience - something fairly straightforward. It's the script-to-correct-history phase which follows the VCS migration that is somewhat cumbersome. ... and it therefore becomes important to migrate big repos piece by piece. 2014-02-14 9:23 GMT+01:00 Kristian Rosenvold <kristian.rosenv...@gmail.com>: > I think the main problem with especially maven-plugins is the sheer amount > of work required to convert these to individual repositories, especially > due to the somewhat not-good structure of the current clone. > > The others should be fairly straight forward, splitting maven-shared > included. > > Kristian > > > > > > 2014-02-14 9:19 GMT+01:00 Hervé BOUTEMY <herve.bout...@free.fr>: > > > No doubt it can be done in general, but the question is on ASF > (canonical) > > git > > repo [1] > > at the moment, everything seems flat > > IMHO, some git expert should work with infra to make it more structured > > > > Regards, > > > > Hervé > > > > [1] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf > > > > Le vendredi 14 février 2014 20:23:34 Fred Cooke a écrit : > > > I have my private git repo setup in a nested way.
