将SVN存储库的子文件夹迁移到git

Question

Is it possible to migrate only a part of a SVN repo to Git? Note that I have to migrate more than one folder located in the root, but not all of them. For example given the following repo:

REPO_ROOT
- FOLDER_A
- FOLDER_B
- FOLDER_C
- FOLDER_D

I want to migrate to the Git repo only FOLDER_B and FOLDER_C

Answer 1

Yes. You have to clone from URL of your folder and (for Git 1.6.4+) use (except others) option --no-minimize-url

git svn clone --prefix=svn/ --authors-file=authors.txt --no-minimize-url http://PEPO/PATH/TO/FOLDER/ ...

Answer 2

I found a convenient solution:

1. Clone that part of the SVN you'd like
2. Go to the root folder of your git repo
3. Type git remote add -f tmp_repo PATH_OF_THE_SVN_CONE
4. Type git merge -s ours –no-commit tmp_repo/master
5. Type git read-tree –prefix=Demo/Kinect -u Kinect/master
6. Commit
7. Check that everything is ok
8. Push
9. Type git remote remove tmp_repo
