Merging two repositories

["Byrne, David" <Da...@cambridge-na.com>]

I wondered if anyone has done anything like this before.  I have two
repositories that are separate right now, but I would like to join them.
I know that I can dump each of the repositories and load them into a new
repository, but I would like the revision numbers to be date-ordered.
One of the repositories contains source code and the other contains the
"distributables" for the application.  So what I want to do is load them
into a new repository that has both with each under different directory
structures.  I thought about writing a python script that would
calculate the order of the current revisions and that would dump using a
filter on the revision number.  It would then load each dump in commit
date order.  This seems like a good deal of work and I thought that
maybe someone else had already done this.  Does anyone have any ideas or
suggestions?

 

Thanks,

David Byrne
