Switch to Git?
Phil Bordelon
I know that E:S is pretty much dead at the moment. That said, I have a
couple of projects I'd like to start working on soon, and I thought that
futzing around with E:S would be a good way to get my feet (re-)wet.
As part of that, I was thinking it would be a good idea to shift E:S
from Subversion to Git. I'd like to preserve the commit history, but
I'm not sure how practical that is; there's no longer a need for the BTT
structure with Git, and all of the tags/ could be replaced with actual
Git tags.
Anyhow, I'm curious: any objections to this move? Google says that it'll
keep the SVN data around even after I flip the switch, so this /should/ be
a zero-dataloss event. In any event, I'll do an svnsync before I do it
so that I have a local backup of the E:S SVN repository.

Switchover complete. I used a clever little Ruby gem called svn2git
that actually understands the BTT structure, so Git has proper Git-style
tags for all of the tagged releases. Very nice.
