If you finally decide to use Git please make sure you drop a file

  trunk/packages/R/r-cran-ggplot2/trunk/README.status

in SVN with content

---
Format: 1
Status: git
SVNDeleteRevision: <SVN commit ID of removal>
URL: git://git.debian.org/debian-med/r-cran-ggplot2.git
Comment: >

to avoid further confusion.  IMHO the fact that the package currently in the
Debian archive is in Git

$ apt-cache showsrc r-cran-ggplot2 | grep ^Vcs
Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-med/r-cran-ggplot2.git;a=summary
Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/r-cran-ggplot2.git

makes a clear preference for remaining here but once there was something
in SVN is reason enough to leave a signal there in case people have
checked out SVN and might wonder where the files were left.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
