Speaking from git migration experience, I'd be really careful about |
| 8 |
how you go about it. Filtering the filename and ensuring only the top |
| 9 |
few lines get touched would probably prevent a lot of issues. Patches |
| 10 |
are the biggest problem as you've noted, but offhand I'm not sure if |
| 11 |
there were others. I just remember that CVS keywords were a constant |
| 12 |
headache during the migration as they seemed to pop up in places you |
| 13 |
wouldn't think of. Now, you're only concerned with the active tree so |
| 14 |
that cuts down the opportunity for issues quite a bit (vs fixing all |
| 15 |
the old commits as well). |
