Transfer only revision history from Google Code to GitHub

Question

We recently moved our project from Google Code to GitHub, but only wanted to move a part of it (up to say revision 600) so instead of using GitHub's built-in system to transfer an SVN repo over we just created the project out of a local project folder that was appropriate.

However, I'd like to transfer over the revision history up to a specific revision. Is there a way to do this? Note I don't want the existing code in the repo to be modified, I just wanted to bring the history over.

Answer 1

1. Use GitHub’s SVN import feature.
2. Clone the new git repository.
3. Use git reset to rewind master to whichever commit you think it should be.
4. git push --force
