SVN to Git to Plastic Export are history maintained

[diegobowen]

Hello there, I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "YES" but I had trouble finding a definitive "YES". So I ask, if I move a SVN repo to Git and then from Git to Plastic 4.0 will all commit/checkin histories be maintained?

Yes

I went ahead and tested this....created a SVN repo and built up some commits, tags and branches..

Then to Git:

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# for i in diegoTagOne diegoTagTwo; do git tag $i tags/$i^; done

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# for i in diegoTagOne diegoTagTwo; do git branch -d -r tags/$i; done

Deleted remote branch tags/diegoTagOne (was 8b335de).

Deleted remote branch tags/diegoTagTwo (was 39b832e).

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git branch -d -r trunk

Deleted remote branch trunk (was d24a430).

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git config --remove-section svn-remote.svn

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# rm -rf .git/svn .git/{logs/,}refs/remotes/svn/

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git config remote.origin.url .

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/remote/*:refs/heads/*

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git fetch

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# ls

[root@gitserver ~]# mkdir GitRepo

[root@gitserver ~]# cd GitRepo/

[root@gitserver GitRepo]# git init --bare .

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git configure remote.origin.url .

git: 'configure' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git config remote.origin.url .

[root@gitserver svn2git_tmpdir]# git config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/remote/*:refs/heads/*

BUT IF YOU NOTICE I'M MISSING SOME CHANGESETS...IN THE PLASTIC SNAPSHOT BELOW I'M MISSING CHANGESET 7-10.

Hello Diego,

I'm not able to see any "cm" command on the log.

I'll be happy to help you with your tests. Can you create a fast-export of the Git/Svn rep and send it to us? We will see if after the import there's something missing.
