hi,

in our company we are moving all our subversion repository to git. git-svn is working really nice. but facing a problem. we have one svn repository where we hosted two projects and both the projects are under development. project a is trunk and project b is branch/xxxx . and project b was copied from trunk . we have plan to merge this two project in future. what is the best way to maintain this two project in git ? should we make to different git repository .

thanks

If they both branched from the same place and they might be merged back together someday, then keeping them in the same repository seems rather harmless. And you can always split the repositories later if you want. Similarly, you can check out the same repository in two different local directories on two different branches and it's essentially equivalent to having two repositories in the first place.

What problems are you having with the setup as it is now?
Have fun,
Avery

thanks for reply. we imported the hole svn repository in git. now the project b is a branch of the repository. and project a is the master . can you please show me a little example how can i pull and push from and to particular branch.

my plan is to use two different folder for these two project.
thanks
