A Holistic, Proactive and Novel Approach for Pre, During and Post Migration Validation from Subversion to Git

Software development is getting a transition from centralized version control systems (CVCSs) like Subversion to decentralized (DVCDs) Git due lesser efficiency of former in terms branching, fusion, time, space, merging, offline commits & builds and repository, etc. having share 77% total VCS, followed by with 13.5%. The majority software industries are migration Git. Only few tools available the industry. Still, these too lack many features identifying empty directories as pre-migration check, failover capabilities during network failure or disk space issue, detailed report generation post-migration steps. In this work, holistic, proactive novel approach has been presented for pre/during/post-migration validation Many scripts have developed executed run-time over various projects overcoming limitations existing migration. During pre-migration, none capability fetch Subversion, which results an incomplete Scripts preparation, overcomes problem Experimentation was conducted SRLC Research Lab, Chicago, USA. process, case loss connection any other reason, if stops breaks, do not start same point where it left. Various keep revision history cache (elastic cache) left failure. post-migration, generate giving information about size source repositories, volume data migrated destination repositories Git, number pools migrated, time taken migration, users email notification, above purpose process.
