Hi,
I tried importing an SVN project with svn-import, and the project had
been renamed once. It seems that git-svn is more mature tool for this,
even if svn-import seems to be the one to use. If I remember
correctly, there was even talk about this very same case in the
mailing list archives.
To make a complete conversion from SVN repository to GIT repositories,
just use --no-metadata option to remove all the metadata git-svn
normally appends to the commit messages. There will also be some cruft
in the .git/config file, I removed those, and have had an working
import with renames from SVN.

I'd like to convert svn.codesimply.com/projects' contents to git.
Right now, the content is like this:
/projects/$PROJECTNAME/{trunk,tags,branches}
git-svnimport does well if I specify projects/$PROJECTNAME/trunk as
the trunk
directory and that/tags as the tags directory. (I am not interested
in
bothering with branches.) The problem is this:
For many of the projects, $PROJECTNAME was once "foo" and is now
"bar."
git-svnimport only imports the history from the current name.
I tried to import foo, then bar, into one git repostiory, but the
histories
didn't seem to get connected. Sam V. suggested git-filter-branch,
but I didn't
quite see how to make it do what I wanted.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or help on this conversion.
