I am pretty sure I have tried everything, figured I would ask all the gurus on here.

Background: I had an SVN repository on an old linux box. I accessed this SVN repo with git-svn. The system's hard drive crashed and the SVN repo was lost.

Question:

Since I have an entire backup of the SVN repository on my local machine through me using GIT, I would like to figure out how to publish everything, including previous commits from my local machine to the new SVN server (that now is on a RAID 5 array).

Currently the projects still have the old SVN information in them, so I need to figure out how to get rid of that as well as migrating the GIT repo to the new SVN repo I set up.

I have contemplated setting up a remote GIT repo, but none of my co-programmers know/want to learn how to use GIT because currently they use the SVN plugin for eclipse and it is ultra easy, even though I am the one who saved everyone by using GIT.

It looks like Git::SVNReplay might fit the bill.

One approach might be to push your Git repository up to a private repo at GitHub, where you can use Git and everybody else can use Subversion to access the same repository.

  • Would be nice, but too cheap when I have a working linux box in front of me =( Have a few repos that we need to keep up with as well. – quaa Sep 24 '10 at 05:12

Maybe Pushing an existing git repository to SVN solves your problem.

Use 

svn switch --relocate file:///tmp/repos file:///tmp/newlocation .

to connect existing checkouts to the new svn repository.

  • I have tried the steps in that link, since the repo was already tied to an SVN repo it makes it different. I cannot make it past the "git svn fetch". – quaa Sep 24 '10 at 05:13
