I think this should be possible. Try focusing on one project at a time, probably easier to get started this way. So you have already created git-svn clone of project1/subproject1 the way it was in the old structure. So far so good, now you want to append the history of subproject1 in the new structure. You start off with the big mainProject trunk. You then want to slice out everything of this project but subproject1. First make a clone, and then use filter-branch like this: # make a copy of the big project you can morph into being just subproject1 repo: git clone --no-hardlinks mainProject-git-svn-clone subproject1 cd subproject1 git filter-branch --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter _Project1/subproject1 HEAD # wait till it's done, and you should have the latest contents of subprojec1 in the current dir git remote add older-stuff ../subproject1-older git fetch older-stuff Now you can start grafting together old and new stuff. Use gitk or git log to get a sense of where the graft points should be. The downside of this is that filter-branch will only bring the current branch (trunk) along for the ride, so if you want to keep any other branches you'll have to do them separately and graft them in as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
