Migrate bitkeeper repository to subversion

["Reuben D. Budiardja" <te...@pathfinder.phys.utk.edu>]

Hello,
I have a medium size bitkeeper repository. I would like to start thinking 
about migrating it to subversion. I have used subversion for my other 
projects and quite happy with it. Is there any tool to help me do this ? I 
would like to be able to keep the changesets history / comments, and the file 
revisions. In other words, I would like to still have my files versions, so I 
can still go back to older version if possible after I migrate to subversion. 
So a bitkeeper revision should maps to a subversion revision, or something 
like that. 

I searched Google and the FAQ but have not came up with anything. Any help ? 
is this possible ? what are my options ?

Thank you in advance for any info.

You are misinterpreting some things there. It doesn't say that such a 
conversion utility can't be written but that you can't simultaneously license 
the free BitKeeper version AND at the same time develop a competing version 
control system.
Developing a converter is a different thing though and if you have a 
commercial license it might also be a different thing. Read the license for 
precise terms.

I'm only aware of this prior mail from a Subversion developer which  
explains that there is not nor can there be a BitKeeper conversion tool:

http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-04/0067.shtml

I don't know if the situation has changed in the past two years.
