Abstract
There is a large variety of commercial and open-source tools that promise almost effortless migration from SVN to Git. Provided, of course, that the structure of the repositories does not have to change (much). But when the requirements of a migration grow to encompass drastic changes in the structure of the repositories, in the build infrastructure as well as an revamp of almost the entire software development process of a company, things get really interesting really fast. This talk will present and discuss the technological, managerial and organizational challenges and solutions of the ambitious and successful migration from SVN to Git at fluid Operations. The talk will be held in English.
