Is there a way to search the old
SVN
repository?
Only locally after you check out a copy.
This is another good reason to host the repository on the
TDE servers--I
can provide a search function if desired. ;-)
I ran 'svn info' on my local svn tree. I show revision 1261450. The web
site shows 1262727. Should I update my local tree svn before the big git
day? That is, will I be able to convert my local svn tree to git to
minimize download time?
No you won't be able to convert as GIT tracks metadata differently.
However, when you do initialize the GIT repository, you will be
downloading a highly compressed version of the metadata, which is then
used to "fast-forward" (i.e. inflate the current sources out of the
compressed metadata) your local copy to match what is on the server.
Hope this helps some!
