Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to import a rather large SVN tree that has been around for a while, initially converted from CVS.

The layout is a bit odd. Instead of standard branch/tags/trunk, it has those directories multiply nested, e.g.:

A/ A/branches A/branches/B A/branches/B/branches A/branches/B/tags A/branches/B/trunk A/tags/tag-1/branches A/tags/tag-1/tags/B/branches A/tags/tag-1/tags/B/tags A/tags/tag-1/tags/B/trunk A/tags/tag-1/trunk A/trunk

etc.

Given multiple projects that are nested as such, is there a way to get git-svn to import the tree and be able to derive the tags and branches? Also, this tree is a little over 1TiB in size, though a large chunk of that is due to the duplicates made by SVN's branches/tags.

Thanks,

-- DN Daniel N.
