I have a couple big projects in SVN that I'd like to convert to Git. Being in SVN, they've operated under a couple assumptions that are not true under Git. These assumptions are: 1. Directories can exist even if there's nothing in them (just like any filesystem). 2. Keeping binary files in version control isn't a big deal because the whole repo doesn't get copied to everyone's system or use up people's GitHub storage space. The SVN repos have been relying on those, but both are false under Git, so I need to do a "modified" conversion, rather than just a straight one. So, how can I convert an SVN repo to Git, and have the conversion add dummy files to empty directories and exclude specific files? (Also, there are tags and branches to be converted too, in the SVN-standard "tags" and "branches" directories.) -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/SVN-Git-but-with-special-changes-tp6840904p6840904.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
