Advice wanted to set up GIT repository manually sync'ed form SVN

Aaron Gray· Mar 18, 2009, 20:53 UTC · lore

Hi,

I am a realitive GIT newbie, ie I have not used GIT on a project but have read quite a lot of documentation on it, over the last year or so.

We are wanting to have a git and git-web repository that is synced to a main SVN repository, wh only want to read the SVN repository at this stage. I am planning on using git-svn raw, and do fetch'es by hand.

Is there any advice that I should know at this point before proceeding ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Read-only access should be mostly pain-free, unless the structure of the svn repo is unfriendly. If it exists already and is large I'd suggest to do a few test conversions with limited revision range first, adjust the config, optionally set up an author map and then go live.
