Don't do it if you can avoid it. Here's how we did it: 1) Create a linear branch: - git-rev-list HEAD > revs - Create a new from-scratch branch named "linear" - for rev in `cat revs`; do git-cherrypick $rev; done (This won't work with that script as you have to do merges manually sometimes, but you get the idea) - to test, git diff linear and master to be sure they are identical 2) Use tailor to import the linear branch into svn 3) Fix up authors etc This worked because we didn't have a complex tangled mess of commits, but a pretty linear branch structure. Otherwise you'll end up banging your head against your desk way too often when trying to create the linear branch. Importing git into svn is a pain. Don’t do it if you can avoid it.
