Admittedly, this was ~1 year ago that I tried git-svn to do a test conversion, and things might have improved since then. svn-all-fast-export does require access to the raw repository, instead of just (http|svn|svn+ssh):// access, but it does allow you to split out one SVN "repository" into multiple Git repositories in one go. -Jacob -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
