History -------- Last year we (Klaus Kämpf, Lukas Ocilka, Martin Vidner and me) started to look into a migration of the YaST svn repo to git. We did not succeed back then, as our usage of svn is not that simple as in other repos. I already migrated smaller projects with git-svn within a few minutes - but this approach did not work for YaST.
The topic popped up again recently and Bernhard Wiedemann and me looked into it again last week and found a new solution. Within 1.5 days we created a tool around svndumpfilter3 [1] that looks very promising.
Thats great progress ! Just keep in mind that all previous attempts looked simple for most of the existing YaST modules. However, some modules have an - 'interesting' - branch/merge history and the devil is in the details.
