I'm trying to migrate our TFS repository to Git. I'm using git-tfs to migrate. I have a problem occurring and one doubt. When I try to migrate using branches=all it comes to a point where it does not continue (see image below).

If I can not migrate all branches once I can migrate each branch in a separate repository. But I can then take these separate repositories and create a single repository converting each repository in a branch?

Migration with branches=all

It's a known behaviour in complex blanching pattern (seems to be when a branch has been deleted and another created with the same name...).

There is no solution until someone dig in the problem and fix it. But there is a some dirty workaround. See in git-tfs issues: https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs/issues

Cloning each branch, one by one is not a good idea because it will take you a lot of time and you won't be able to go further than git-tfs will bring you.

  • Hummm thank you :) Im my case we will change tfs to gitlab. Then i have the ideia to migrate each branch and then merge all. this is possible? – Marcio Althmann Jun 07 '16 at 11:11
  • Hello, after one more test the migration works. * Clone only the Trunk then init all branches and all works fine, my branch 12.3 don´t crash everything :D thanks. – Marcio Althmann Jun 07 '16 at 13:09
