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. ;-)
Um, sheesh, ok. :) I can do that too. (Homer Simpson Doh! moment.)
:-) It happens to everyone.
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!
