Internally our repository is split into five parallel directory structures with their own trunk/branches/tags, which correspond fairly well to RTC components. There are approximately 100 branches we want to keep [at minimum]... each of these branches is present in each of these directory structures.

Accepted answer
As you say, the Subversion importer only supports importing a branch at a time and there is currently no command line support. There is no official API for the Subversion importer but it would certainly be possible to to write a Java based utility that simplified the import of multiple branches.

I have the same problems and a I have 843 CVS repositories to migrate to RTC scm. Each one have a lot of branches and tags and should be preserved in the migrations process. By the way, we have one of the largest instalations in the world in Jazz Enterprise Deployment . The lack of a an automated process compromises the migration. This is a very common problem and must have automation. |
