To keep complete history svn2git must offer pushing commits in "branch
master/...". That means "master" is the "branch" and "..." is the directory
where the commits have to put. This should be solvable with a keyword like
"dir"

It happens when applying commits from kdeplayground-games, playground/games and
kdereview.

For example: http://gitorious.org/jobermayr/kdegames

Rule: http://pastie.org/1019984



To use regexp for creating tags svn2git must recognize a keyword like "stop".
That means if I set a stop in a within "match ... end match" it should not go
down and search for other suitable matches.

Example:

# specific rule
match /tags/KDE/3.4.3/kdegames/
  repository KDE/kdegames
  branch refs/tags/v3.4.3
  min revision 467472
  annotated true
end match

# regexp
match /tags/KDE/(\d+).(\d+).(\d+)/kdegames/
  repository KDE/kdegames
  branch refs/tags/v\1.\2.\3
  annotated true
end match

What does svn2git ATM with commits applied to this section before commit
467472?
It looks in specific rule, thinks ah, the rule does not fit and uses the
general rule. That is false. It should "stop" when the specific rule does not
fit.

But you can see in above rule how you can solve it: lines 544 to 1253

Reproducible: Always




If such features won't become implemented we cannot keep complete history.

Hi Johannes. Unfortunately this is not the right place to request this.
Sysadmins maintain the infrastructure, but we can not implement this. The best
thing you can do is ask on kde-scm-interest. I'm sure they can help better than
we can.
