Hi,
I trie(d) to migrate an (ancient) svn repos to git. One of the first steps
is
git svn clone .....
Doing that gives some initial clone. Now, inspecting the revision history
in the new cloned repository shows a history
dating back till 2010,
while doing svn log on the checked out svn work directory shows a history
dating back to the last century
(yes, it's an ancient repos).
Anyhow: I checked the git "history" via gitk and via commands like
git log --before="2009-01-01"
but I don't find a trace of the "pre-history",
Now, inspecting the svn history, I observe the following facts:
- while doing the git svn clone, all svn revisions "r1" till "r50000" are
reported to be
part of the clone, nothing seems to be forgotten (there's some warnings
though).
- Now: the crucial observation: r1 (the ``first'' revision'') is not the
"oldest one". It's from
2010, which is when the git history seems to start.
I should say that the svn repos is a ``merge'' of different reposes
(each with their own revision history which may account for the
fact that revision r1 is not temporally the oldest revision).
Anyway: is the older history still preserved in the migrated GIT repos?
I am worried it's truncated, especially since the "git log --before
"2009-01-01"
is empty which it should not be.
Thanks, Martin
