I want to start writing KDE rules for my SVN to Git migration. Can I simply see the SVN structure using 'repo-browser' (TortoiseSVN) and write the rules accordingly instead of installing svneverever to help determine the structure?
Of course you can. svneverever just helps you to investigate the history, especially if there was renamings and movings and stuff that is deleted now. If you don't want or need svneverever you can easily do without if you don't have a complex history with unclean working with SVN. But to run svn2git you need a local copy of the repo or need to run it on the SVN server anyway, so using svneverever on it is not too much extra effort.
