I haven't yet looked at the code, will do next week (as well as the
testing/feedback you required). Can you please just comment on the disk
usage of generate repository. My previous attempt at the migration
script was careful about removing all tracks of verbatim tarballs in the
history as to minimize disk usage (and getting rid of all the places
where the tarballs have been stored wasn't easy). Did you inherit that
nice property from the predecessor?
Beside that: thanks a lot for the new script!

In my experience the difference between the "big" one and the others was
noticeable in what needed to be addressed, please test drive on ocaml
itself.

Cool this mean you do the expansions :) I think that supporting all the
user names we currently have in the alioth project is enough.

Was I sure that we will *not* go for the 3.10.2 transition before Lenny
I would answer: let's do the git migration right away. Given that we are
probably going to have a 3.10.2 transition I would wait for that: I do
not want to "waste" people energy in learning a new tool *during* the
transition. Bottom line: I propose to do it as soon as one of the two
happen: we complete the 3.10.2 transition, we know for sure there won't
be any 3.10.2 transition in Lenny time.
Cheers.
