Re: Fwd: Switching from Subversion to Git

Hi Per,

Sure I still volunteer to make it happen. As said earlier, I already
performed SVN conversion to git and it's hosted at
https://github.com/maoueh/kawa-fork. Could you take a look and ensure
that is correct with you. It would then be a simple matter of pushing
the SVN mirror to the new Savannah git repository.

It is not fully up-to-date as I had problem syncing with SVN. It
stopped with some weird errors on revision 8527. So, current `master`
branch (equivalent to `trunk`) is at revision 8526. Will try to debug
syncing problem when I find more time.

Is a manual SVN mirror enough or are you aiming more to an fully
automatic mirror? Do you want a bi-directional mirror (git push syncs
to SVN and SVN commit pushes to git) or a one way would be ok (SVN to
git only)?

Regards,
Matt
