Hi,
Klaus and Daniel created a tool for migrating the SVN repository via 'svnadmin dump' and splitting that up into smaller SVN repositories which are then fed into svn-all-fast-export The setup is at https://github.com/kkaempf/yast-svn2git
I have tried it on the network module, and the export ends at revision 27004, apparently because it fails to bring in a file that was moved from elsewhere: http://svn.opensuse.org/viewvc/yast?view=revision&revision=27004
Yes, this didn't show up in the initial tests but I found and fixed it over the weekend. Its a dirty, but working hack ...
Another thing, the original revision numbers are lost. I frequently refer to them in commit messages and Bugzilla, so I think they need to be preserved somehow.
They are, as part of the git commit message.
Hmm, have we just reinvented svndumpfilter? http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svndumpfilter.commands.c.include....
We tried with svndumpfilter but failed. Daniel might still have a link with the explanation of what went wrong.
Or svndumpfilter2 ? http://blog.janjonas.net/2010-02-16/svndumpfilter-svndumpfilter2-extract-svn...
Good catch, haven't heard about this before ! But it seems to suffer from the same problem we had with svndumpfilter: rinse and repeat - you have to manually collect all missing links, which are plenty for some YaST modules.
