svn2git或git svn import

Question

I'm about to migrate my SVN repo to GIT. I'm going to use svn2git which uses the git-svn.

Is there any way the process modifies the SVN repo? Since obviously this is very sensitive to change, I want to be sure that the original SVN will not be affected in any way.

Answer 1

I haven't used svn2git but I have just done git svn clone <URI to the svn repo> and it has worked perfectly fine for me. No issues at all.

Answer 2

git-svn can commit changes back to svn with git svn dcommit , git svn branch or git svn tag commands, but it doesn't do so unless you explicitly tell it to. svn2git only calls git svn init and git svn fetch , so it won't modify anything in the original repository.
