Currently I am migrating PVCS source code to GIT Repository.

As there is no specific tool which will migrate PVCS to GIT. I used 3rd party tool and SVN as bridge repository.

I am successful in migrating PVCS code to SVN as mentioned below.

PVCS Trunk --> SVN Trunk
PVCS branches -->  SVN Branches
PVCS Labels --> SVN Tags

After the migration I found that one more step was missing.

In PVCS we have a Promotion Group and it is not migrated to SVN.

Kindly let me know what is Promotion Group in PVCS and how it will be migrated to SVN.

Is there any concept called promotion Group in Bitbucket

  • You have to explain what a Promotion Group is, because there's no native comparison with SVN or Git as far as I know. – AlBlue Jul 09 '15 at 14:12
  • @AlBlue Thank you for comment. Here they have created DEV, Production, QA , Staging. (Promotion groups). – Nanda Jul 10 '15 at 05:11
  • Still doesn't mean anyone knows what you mean by (Promotion groups). – AlBlue Jul 10 '15 at 21:13
  • Did you ever figure out a way to handle this? I am considering the same course of action, as PVCS support has essentially stopped, and support for Eclipse plugins is 2 years behind – Armand Feb 23 '17 at 17:30

PVCS promotion groups are used to handle the movement of code from dev through qa to production. you define the groups you want.

to do something similar in git you can use branches to represent these different states or "promotion groups". Here is an example model. Take a look at git flow to see one way of doing this.
