The high-level workflow for migrating from SVN to Git is as follows: Prepare a migration environment. Convert the source SVN repository to a local Git repository. (Optional) Synchronize the local Git repository with any changes from SVN repository while developers continue using SVN.
Migrate from SVN to Git with History and Branches txt file to match the syntax you need for your Git author information. Now that you have your list of authors ready, you can run the import using git svn and specify the authors-transform. txt . Copy the authors-transform.
# Clone a repo with standard SVN directory layout (like git clone): git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project --stdlayout --prefix svn/ # Or, if the repo uses a non-standard directory layout: git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project -T tr -b branch -t tag --prefix svn/ # View all branches and tags you have ...
What are externals definitions? Externals definitions map a local directory to the URL of a versioned resource. The svn:externals property can be set on any versioned directory and its value is a multi-line table of subdirectories and absolute repository URLs.
I used the recipe in http://patrickbougie.com/2013/03/18/convert-svn-to-git-repository/ recently and it did the trick.
In general, though, I prefer changing the build to refer to external dependencies, rather than include the source code at the right point. If you're using Maven, then Maven modules are designed for just that.
