git import?

[arnonmoscona]

I like the graphical nature of plastic. I like the built-in merge tools.

I am currently using git on Windows (mostly via cygwin). Used git a lot under linux.

Git on Windows is a bit awkward. Especially when it comes to merge tools (you gotta "hack it")

Intrigued enough about Plastic to try and evaluate it, but would want to start off by importing some git projects (some of mine, some bigger projects checked out from github)

So - is there a way to import a git repository, complete with all commits, branches, tags, etc?

Hi Arnon,

You're hitting exactly two of the strong points we focus on.

Have you seen our mergetool in action?

I'm specially proud of the xmerge/xdiff stuff, able to help even when code has been moved (refactors and so on). And this is one of the areas where we're focusing too.

Right.

Right now the best way would be to move from git into svn and then import from there.

Our plan is to have a bi-directional synchronization with Git in a few months, but it is not yet there so since you want to start using Plastic now I'd better go for a svn import or simply importing a working copy...
