I experimented with SVN to Fossil via Git a little over a year ago. It worked well for an initial export with no future imports, but for incremental updates it didn't work very well. The diffs were messed up. Here is the discussion from that time period: http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/pipermail/fossil-users/2013-July/012864.html > To have near real time update of SVN commits to the Fossil mirror, I think > you would have to use a commit monitor to trigger a SVN "pull", then SVN > export to your Fossil working copy, then fossil commit. I abandoned my SVN -> Fossil attempts, and no longer work for that company, however this was the approach I was considering. I wish the "gitmarks" feature was better supported in Fossil to have a true incremental import without scripting multiple version control systems. But, development efforts are probably better placed elsewhere. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
