Hey gang, I did a migration using svn-all-fast-export a (long) while back. The results are on http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/olasd/dpmt/. I've been very annoyed with the svn tag -> git branch mapping, and I haven't had time to script fixing those up. I also have no idea how to graft the upstream history there if we want sourceful repos (but I guess we can just not care about it). The stuff I used is in alioth:/home/users/olasd/dpmt_migration and should be world-readable. If you're so inclined, I could probably walk you through it, but considering that that was done 9 months ago, it is probably better to start from scratch anyway. Cheers, -- Nicolas Dandrimont BOFH excuse #122: because Bill Gates is a Jehovah's witness and so nothing can work on St. Swithin's day.
