git-svn --set-tree question

Vitaly R. Tskhovrebov· Apr 4, 2010, 13:27 UTC · lore

Hello, guys.

I have some unusual situation here.

We need to move git repo to svn with commit history. After some research I found a way with creating an empty svn, and then making git svn --set-tree [git_revision_number_here]

Commit history imports well, but i loose commiters' names and comments. How to move them too?

Thanks a lot, Vitaly.

Hi Vitaly,

You'll have to get the SVN admin to enable changing revprops on the repo itself. There's a hook you need to enable server-side and you'll probably have to write a script for changing the revprops of each revision to map to the git one.
