Well, for a repo gigantic as that, there is not too much "scientific" you can do. Whatever approach that satisfies the purpose, it is worth exploring. Smilie

But curious to know, as you mentioned the CVS repo is active and you couldn't stop people commiting, how did you do the cp?

SVN-ALL-FAST-EXPORT(1)					      General Commands Manual					    SVN-ALL-FAST-EXPORT(1)

NAME

       svn-all-fast-export - tool to convert svn repositories into git

SYNOPSIS

       svn-all-fast-export [options] [Path to subversion repository]

DESCRIPTION

       svn-all-fast-export is a tool to convert your svn repositories to git.

       You  will  need to have a copy of your svn repository and to write some rules to specify how the conversion will be done, for instance, you
       can manage how the tags and branches will be managed writing the appropriate  rules.  You  have	examples  in  /usr/share/doc/svn-all-fast-
       export/samples

       Path  to  subversion  repository is a backup copy of the subversion repository. Note that an svn url will not work due to the undistributed
       nature of svn.

OPTIONS

       --identity-map
	      Provide map between svn username and email. You can provide a file mapping the old svn accounts to the authors names. This file must
	      have a line per each svn account, you can use either the svn-all-fast-export native format:
	      janesvnaccountname Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.com>
	      or the git-svn format:
	      janesvnaccountname = Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.com>

       --revisions-file
	      Provide a file with revisions numbers that should be processed. This file should have one revision number per line.

       --rules
	      The rules file that determines what goes where. See /usr/share/doc/svn-all-fast-export/samples

       --add-metadata
	      If passed, each git commit will have svn commit info.

       --resume-from
	      Start importing at svn revision number.

       --max-rev
	      Stop importing at svn revision number.

       --dry-run
	      Don't actually write anything.

       --debug-rules
	      Print what rule is being used for each file.

       --commit-interval number
	      If passed the cache will be flushed to git every number of commits.

       --stats
	      After a run, print some statistics.

       --svn-branches
	      Use the content of SVN when creating branches, Note: SVN tags are branches as well.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

RETURN VALUES

       This program returns 0 on success, on error something else (numbers in base 10):
       10 unrecognized option or missing argument
       11 no rules file specified

BUGS

       All  matching  rules  need  to  end with a '/', else the tool will crash at some point. The only exception are the rules using the recurse-
       action.
