FWIW, when I ported SVN repos at work, I converted the commit history as well.

  we hired contractors to move us from source gear to git and they said "moving the history would be too hard, so we didn't" lost probably 10+ years of history

    Renaming the company is also fun when its name is used for folders / package paths. The history isn't lost, just unusable.

      There are a million files in the Meta monorepo starting with FB. I don't think they even changed the practice.

        You see, the “fb” in fbcode stands for “fierce & beautiful”.

  yeah... wasn't me that did it though. Same group of people did it with a git repository they "recreated" more recently. They just don't know how to software. I got my hands on the old SVN but it's a few TBs and so I had some trouble unzipping it. Maybe someday I'll patch a branch for blame archeology.
