[sysvinit-devel] Migrating from subversion to git

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Keeping the project history is good coding practice and a requirement
to be able to figure out why code is the way it is.  As we all seem to
agree that  git is the way forward, I took the minutes required to set
up a draft migration script in subversion.  Please check out
contrib/migrate-svn-git.  It fail to migrate the tag in the
sysvinit/tags/ directory, but otherwise seem to do an OK job.  Anyone
got any idea why the tag is missing?

The current subversion directory contain three subdirectories, sysvinit,
startpar and insserv.  I suspect these should go into separate git
repositories.  Is it possible to add three different git repositories to
a Savannah project?  I could not find any answers in
<URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/ >.
