I am using git-tf to migrate my project from tfs to git. The problem is that its a massive project with 20k+ commits and the socket connection closes after 7-8 hours of migration giving me the following error :
git-tf: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxIOException: Read timed out
I am wondering if there's a way of just migrating a recent percentage of change history instead of the full set. E.g- something like
git-tf clone http://tfs2012.xxx:8080/TFS/DefaultCollection/ $/"xxx" --deep '30%'
which shall pick up only 30 % of recent commits.
Yes. You can specify the --deep <count> argument to indicate the number of changesets to download.
For example:
git tf clone --depth 10 https://visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection $/Project/Folder
To download only the most recent 10 changesets.
See git tf help clone for more information.
