Doesn't git have builtin svn repo conversion?

[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 12 hours ago

Yes, the script uses git svn under the hood,
however it simplifies the process of a fair amount of steps,
to just x1 easy CLI command with an in/output parameter.

Why would you want do that?

I'm using RCS for a particular project. It's the best fit for the project.

To test that SVN -> GIT works?

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Actually pretty good reason.

Thank you for asking.

In my particular use case we need strict access control.

Really depends on the situation.

I mean, the why is obvious. Whether anyone should do it is the real question ;-)

Nope, only SVN => Git
