This is probably targeted at Eric Wong, but any assistance is welcome. I asked on #git, and decideded that a larger audience might be interested in this question, and whatever its answer turns out to be. I've been working on a project, and tracking its history in git. Due to lack of windows support, and windows-only developers joining my project, my higher-ups decided that we needed to use SVN. I expect I'll probably use git-svn, myself, but I'm faced with a task: I need to use the contents of my git repository, which is *very* linear with only one branch, to fill in some history for a new, empty svn repository. My current steps, which isn't complete (identifiers cleaned out to protect... well, me.) $ git svn init svn://server/project project $ cd project project$ git svn fetch Fetching git-svn r0 = df2d1a798e85c75b9abbfd22fe06ff651a8fa9dd project$ git pull /git/project warning: no common commits remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 850 objects. remote: Deltifying 850 objects. ... project$ git log commit Merge: ... ...

Can someone walk me through this? Oh, how I wish for a native Windows version of git. That's the *right* solution, I know. -- epistemological humility Chris Riddoch
