Some open source projects I am interested in have been tracked using Subversion rather than Git. I know nothing about Subversion. Recenly, I have learnt about Git and SourceTree and am very familiar with these two things.

Now the question is, what options do I have to view the Subversion project history since SourceTree cannot be used for this? I want to be able to clone the repository to view the history and also make changes. I don't think there is a way to convert the subversion information into Git information.

If those opensource projects are no longer active in their Subversion referential, you could:

  • clone them locally (you can use TortoiseSVN for example)
  • use SubGit to make a one-time conversion between the local SVN repository and a new local Git repository.
  • push the new Git repository to a new upstream repository hosting service.

But if the SVN repository is still active, then you would need to use git svn, as described in this article, in order to do git svn fetch/git svn dcommit.
