Does here any plan to support incremental convert?

[conhaifeng]

I have a large svn repo, many projects, and most of projects each contains 1W+ revisions. when converting, maybe someone commit new code, how to convert these new code to git? does here any plan to support incremental convert? I know git-svn support it by command "git svn fetch", but it's too slow, so i prefer svn2git. hope so, thanks.

I converted a svn repo with over 500k commits, and 20 years of history. I did this by doing one large big bang convert from svn to git. This meant that I had a live svn and a repaired copy ( in some cases history had been corrupted and > 50GB files had been checked in) of it, which I kept up to date prior to migrating a project. I did the conversion one project at a time, and svn remained live throughout the migration.

svnadmin is useful here, here is the snippet I used to take the latest changes:

function updateMasterRepo() {
    latestCommit=`svn info -r HEAD file:///${svnMasterRepo}/ | grep Revision | awk '{print $2}'`
    latestCommitFromSvn=`svn info -r HEAD svn://svn.company.lan/svn/product | grep Revision | awk '{print $2}'`

    if [ "$latestCommit" -eq "$latestCommitFromSvn" ]; then
       echo "Repos are in sync ... skipping incr"
    else 
	echo "Incrementing commit number by 1 commit from rev: ${latestCommit}"
	latestCommit=`expr $latestCommit + 1`
	echo "New rev: ${latestCommit}"
	read -p "Starting dump with commit [REV: ${latestCommit}] - Proceed? [y/n] " -n 1 -r
	echo "" 
	    if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
		$debug $svncmd dump $pathToSvn --incremental -r${latestCommit}:HEAD > "$pathToTemp/product_r${latestCommit}_HEAD.dmp"
		$debug svnadmin load --bypass-prop-validation $svnMasterRepo < "$pathToTemp/product_r${latestCommit}_HEAD.dmp"
		notice "$latestCommit:HEAD loaded to master repository [$svnMasterRepo]"
		notice "Done!"
	     else
    	        notice ""
	        notice "Exiting..."
	    fi
    fi
}
