Getting Component History Programmatically

[tim-lo]

Hi, having played around with rtc2git (excellent piece of work btw 👍) a bit, I wrote a little bash script to make getting the history files less arduous. Setting the maximum number of results for scm list changesets to 1M seems to work perfectly for my migration scenario (2K+ changesets in each component). I'll just leave this here...

Hi Thomas, thanks for your feedback, Im happy to hear that :)

First of, thank you very much for your script. 👍

However currently im not sure, wheter scm list changesets did the job right in terms of ordering. We had some problems finding the right order of the changesets in the past.

I am going to crawl through some old comments and/or code to check if I can figure out if the ordering is correct or not.

But if it worked out for you perfectly im more than happy. :)
Probably I will link it anyways in the wiki (https://github.com/rtcTo/rtc2git/wiki/Getting-your-History-Files) as an alternative approach if you agree of course 😄

Ah ok, didn't know about scm's ordering issue, haven't really looked into that at all. Though feel free to link my script if you think it'd be useful. Keep up the good work! 👏

In the meantime (yeah took a little bit too long), I updated the wiki with your repository. Thanks again for sharing 😃
