How does min revision work?

[gabyx]

If we have repo with 1000 revision and the rule

match /trunk/
  min revision 100
  repository Repo
  branch main
end match

which starts from min revision 100. The tool only adds the changes from revision numbers 100-1000.
So is it correct that any files are missing in Repo which where introduced in revision 0-100 ?

I do that because revision number 55 is corrupt. How can I get the full state also by only importing 100-1000 ?
Do I need to pre-fill the bare Repo with all files present in revision 99 ?

Thanks a lot for a quick answer.

Hi,
You need to start processing at the first revision touching the paths you are interested in.
To get around the bad revision, ignore that specific revision.

Thanks. I then use the revision file argument. Might there be the other solution to just prepare the repository with the initial stuff and start from the revision „min revision“ in the rule file. Hopefully this tool does not recreate the repository if it already exists? Von meinem iPhone gesendet
