In the middle of migrating from SVN to BitBucket (git). I'm struggling with speeds from the SVN server right now, and I'm wondering if something like this might be possible: * svnadmin dump repo * Import the SVN repo to my laptop * git svn clone .... * modify the .git/config to change the SVN URL back to the original server * rebase to get new changes and keep in sync I can't really think of a reason that it wouldn't work ....

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hi Kirk,

You can definitely do that. I would recommend testing it on a small repository just to confirm, but I've personally done that and it works fine.

I decided to just try -- didn't see any reason it wouldn't work. It is much faster to do the initial svn clone like this. Thanks!

Glad to hear it. I'm assuming you're runing git-svn? The other thing to look at is Subgit which is definitely faster (although doesn't handle all of the weird edge cases in badly formed SVN repositories)

Oh man. I'm riddled with badly formed SVN repositories. It's been a bloody mess, but the end is in sight I think. In the end I'm losing some of my branch history, but it is what it is.
