Using git to sync existing file collection?
- by chrish
I've got a collection of files that formerly lived in a Subversion repo; on my new server I've imported them into a git repo so I could start getting more experience with that.
On several other machines, I've got mostly up-to-date copies of the existing svn repo files.
Is there any way to sync to the new git repo, but use these existing files so I don't have to re-transfer all of the data?
Is git smart enough that if I do a fetch? or checkout? that it'll notice the files are identical and not re-transfer them?
