Hi Andreas, I don't know to throw previous history either. What about this repo: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-med/mothur.git/ ? I keep old history inside svn-debian and svn-upstream branches. > continue with your commits later this would probably a good idea.

I imported the repo and git-svn created two branches (with debian directory and upstream sources). I renamed the tags to "svn/...". Then I pulled my work. The histories are separate, but I can think of rebasing my work on top of these two branches. I even tried, but failed a bit. > > Kind regards > > Andreas. > Please let me know what you think.
