[llvm-dev] Git Transition status?

[via llvm-dev]

Sorry I'm dredging up an old discussion.

FWIW, for converting our (extremely long and complex history) compiler
to git, I found svn-all-fast-export to be very useful, even essential.
Its rule structure was flexible enough to handle a lot of corner cases
and weird history.

I also developed several thousands of lines of conversion scripts based
around svn-all-fast-export and git_fast_filter (as well as some fixes
and enhancements to the latter).  Most of that involved taking
completely independent SVN repositories and weaving them into one git
repository.  I don't think that's as complex for the LLVM ecosystem
since everything lives under one SVN repository.  Some of the directory
remapping issues that have been raised would be handled beautifully by
svn-all-fast-export.
