I believe it's impossible to refer to the old revisions by the new names in diff, so one would need to use old paths for the pre-move revisions. Anyway, "svn mv" is the Subversion way of doing things. If we are certain that we want to move the repository, it's better to do it early. It's also better to do it when there are no unmerged branches. I believe Okuji wanted to use a different naming scheme, that would put "grub2" or "grub-legacy" above trunk. You may want to check it to avoid moving things twice. All the above notwithstanding, I'm still skeptical about the whole moving idea based on my experience with other projects. Repositories are for developers and should be used in the way that minimizes troubles for developers rather than reduces the entry barrier for newbies. If GRUB2 is moved in any way, I'm not sure I'll be able to keep the git mirror at repo.or.cz up to date. It doesn't seem that git-svn can deal with it. I'm going to try to keep is running, but I cannot promise it. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
