I've got a large svn repository which I'm splitting and migrating to several git repositories.
So this single svn repository,
software/project_1/
/project_2/
/project_X/
will become these git repositories:
repositories/project_1.git
/project_2.git
/project_X.git
I'm having trouble preserving the history for files that cross multiple git repositories due to an svn mv sometime in their history.
For example, consider the following repository:
software/project_1/<core_stuff>
/project_X/
Development happened under software/project_1/project_X/ for a while before it was svn mv'ed into a standalone software/project_X/
Now, for all of my project_X history, project_1.git has the pre-svn mv stuff, and project_X.git has the post-svn mv stuff.
Is this situation common? Is it possible to meaningfully track the history of files in such a situation?
