Hello,
I would like to move a complete subdirectory with all its history from one svn repository to another.
For this, I have created a git repository with the two subversion repositories as remotes:
REPOSROOT=https://foo.bar.com/repos
mkdir -p migrate
cd migrate
git svn init --stdlayout $REPOSROOT/my-repos
for i in my-repos their-repos; do
git config svn-remote.$i.url $REPOSROOT/$i
git config svn-remote.$i.fetch trunk:refs/remotes/$i/trunk
git config svn-remote.$i.branches branches/*:refs/remotes/$i/*
git config svn-remote.$i.tags tags/*:refs/remotes/$i/tags/*
git svn fetch -R $i
git checkout -b $i $i/trunk
done
git gcNow I would like to move one directory (call it bar) from my-repos to their-repos. Problem is: there are thousands of changesets in this directory. So I got somewhat stuck (I am new to git). Do I have to cherry-pick every changeset separately? Or is there some way to merge all the changesets touching this specific directory?
Any hints?
