When splitting a repo: git-filter-branch or git-filter-repo?

[MJ]

Hi all,

We are planning on migrating our SVN repo to Git/Bitbucket.  I plan to follow the migration guide at https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/svn-to-git-prepping-your-team-migration .  However, our SVN repo (a single repo) has data from multiple projects which will need to be split into multiple git repos (assuming I am understanding the git usage model correctly).  To that end, I found the following article: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/split-a-repository-in-two

My concern is that git-filter-branch--which is mentioned in the aforementioned article--has warnings about possible silent corruption.  Web searches suggest using git-filter-repo instead.

What is the recommendation by this community?  Have many people seen issues with the use of git-filter-branch?  Should I use git-filter-repo instead?

Thanks in advance,

MJ
