[chef] Re: Re: Moving from svn to git?

[Daniel Schauenberg < >]

Hi!

The basic steps how Etsy moved from svn to git last year are pretty well
documented at

http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2011/12/02/moving-from-svn-to-git-in-1000-easy-steps/
http://blog.johngoulah.com/2009/11/migrating-svn-to-git/

Beware that there was no heavy use of branching and tags in svn, so that 
wasn't
that much of a problem.

Cheers,
Daniel
