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.
