We're migrating from StarTeam (aka "the horrible") to SubVersion (aka "the alleged great"). We've already migrated the files by doing a "dumb" commit to all files and started working on the SubVersion repository.

However, we're still forced to use StarTeam because we lack the per-file history of check-ins. Is it possible to inject that history into SubVersion after the first check-in has been done? If yes - how?

  • I'm curious if you ended up getting the full history into svn. I'm hoping to do the same migration at my workplace, and I'd like to learn how your transition went. – JoshD Oct 16 '10 at 03:36
  • no, and it stinks. We have to work with the old source control (StarTeam) whenever we need to check why or when was something done. – Ran Biron Oct 16 '10 at 10:37

No, that's not possible.

To get the history into subversion you have to start from scratch and incorporate every revision from StarTeam into subversion.

Here's a starting point for doing that: Importer for SVN
