I've been playing a bit with Stefano's conversion scripts. I really needed
multiple branches for the python-pip work I'm doing. I wanted to get out a
quick 1.5.6-6 but not disrupt the ongoing unreleased pip 7 work. I was able
to happily take the output of Stefano's script, git-dpm-ify the branch, merge
in the unreleased svn commits, and push it to the DPMT's git.
AFAICT, it all worked nicely, although his scripts could probably do some of
the post-conversion git-dpm-ifying for us. With that, I would be happy to see
our repos converted en masse. If that can happen soon, I think we should be
cautious about converting individual packages. If there's a good reason to
convert yours now (or if you're experimenting with the conversions and don't
want to lose your work), okay, but otherwise let's wait until flag day, which
hopefully will not be very far off.
Cheers,
