Experience in switching existing project in Redmine from SVN to Git

Added by Oliver Gierke about 14 years ago

We're thinking about moving our SVN repositories over to Git and now I wonder what implications this will have on already existing tickets and the links to repository revisions. The as the commit messages bind a revision to the appropriate ticket (via references and fixes keywords) this should be fine. But I guess links back (the closing comments "Applied with r4711") will be broken then? Are the links broken then or doesn't Redmine format them as links anymore?

Thanks a ton!

The revision-ticket binding is done at changeset-load-time, so those will be recreated when you load the git repo. The r1234 links are all created at view-time, so those will just not be links anymore and just stay there as "dead" text, because redmine won't fine a corresponding revision.
