The git-svn docs say that it serves as a bi-directionaly gateway between git and svn, but that the main repo is a Subversion repository. My goal with the PythonCAD repo is to convert it so that the main repository is in git, and then I'm going to try to use git-svn to push my changes into the now-secondary Subversion repo. This way, I can make a distributed git repo available to developers wanting to contribute to PythonCAD, plus keep the developers currently using Subversion from having to make any changes if they either don't want to or are unable to (i.e. windows developers/users). Is git-svnimport maintenence on the wane? Art Haas Offtopic P.S.: Anyone know of a git mirror of the GCC repo, or do people use git-svn to access that code via git? -- Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. -Thomas Jefferson to James Smith, 1822
