Its a pretty horrible format. Especially with how it handles branches and tags, and file data. Fortunately SVN has a C library which parses the file for you. Which means that probably the best way to read the SVN dump format is to write a program which links against the SVN library and translates it into the datastructures used internally by git-fastimport to generate an initial pack file, then repack that after the import to get good compression. -- Shawn. - 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
