Re: Split a subversion repo into several git repos

Thanks,
I found svndumpfilter in the svn book, and gave it a try. Unfortunately it seems to be confused about files that have moved around in the repository, I was at least not able to make it dump the entire history for a directory that over time has changed name, and that contains files that have moved in from other directories.

If you look through the Subversion FAQ or the book (I forget where
I've seen it -- but I know I've seen it), you can export/filter out a
tree from a subversion repository and load it into a new repository.
Then you can import from that new repository.

This presumes you have direct access to the subversion repository and
can run commands like svnadmin --dump.

Hi,
I would like to convert a subversion repository to Git. The subversion
repository used to track development of several projects (only slightly
related), and I would like to divide the repository into several smaller
git repositories.

For example, I want to convert one subversion repository which contains
the folders:
trunk/projectA
trunk/projectB

into two git repositories:
projectA.git
projectB.git

As far as I have understood, the way to do this is to
1) Convert the entire subversion repository to git with git-svn.
2) Make two copies of the whole new git-repository (projectA.git and
projectB.git).
3) Use git-rm to remove projectB from projectA.git, and projectA from
projectB.git.

This works fine, but both git-repositories now carries the history for
both projects. If possible, I would like to "clean" the history in the
repositories, so that I don't see history information for projectA when I
am browsing logs in projectB.git. Has anyone been in the same situation?
Do you have suggestions on how it can be solved?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eivind
