Subject: Importing from subversion with full history
Message-ID: <CAOqhUvzXUmF3bSX6ShQ3DpBGLgQfGyeUBabY=YkORSpSa0bvcQ@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to import our team's old subversion repository to git, but
I'd like to retain the commit history. I tried 'git svn clone' but
that only retrieves commits from the last copy onwards.

Because the svn setup is really bad, there is no way I can reproduce
the "stdlayout" structure that 'git svn' likes, or any other structure
where the trunk isn't a just few versions down from a copy.

Is there a way to have 'git svn' not do "--stop-on-copy" when fetching
history? I'm perfectly fine with getting a simple linear history
(because trying to do anything else with our svn setup will put our
sanity in danger), but I couldn't find any documentation on how to do
so.

Thanks in advance,
