Mendix App Repo exceeding 3.5 GB for SVN to Git migration

0
Hi community,   We have an application that we are trying to migrate from SVN to Git. Since the repo size has exceeded 3.5GB, we were warned that we cannot proceed. Mendix recommends to start of with a clean slate and delete previous history except for the latest commit. Does anyone know if there is a way we can reduce repo size whilst still keeping the history of the commits once the app is moved from SVN to Git ?   Thanks a lot!

Hi Lian,

As far as i know you can’t do that on the Mendix Team Server. If the SVN repo is over 3.5 GB, migration with history isn’t possible.

You could host your own Git and migrate manually, but that’s complex and not something I’ve tried myself.

A practical workaround: create a new app, import the latest version of your current one, and migrate that clean app to Git. Keep the original SVN app on Team Server renamed to _old so you still have the full history there if ever needed.
