Here's a relatively short-term plan. I'm currently writing the dumpfilev3 support into svn-dump-fast-export with two of Jonathan's patches applied [1]: 'Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id' and 'Teach fast-import to print the id of each imported commit' The first is already in `pu` and I've just ressurected the discussion pertaining to the second. Since I already have a stopgap svndiff0 parser, I can work on re-implementing a better parser while simultaneously working on dumpfilev3 support. I expect to have made some significant progress by this weekend. Depending on the fast-import patch, I expect that this'll take upwards of a month to complete. I'm also simultaneously working on cleaning up `svnrdump` and abstracting out many of its components as a reusable library. The work is pretty light, and there's no hurry to finish this off. The branch/ tag mapper needs more thought and sketching out. I'll think about this harder, mock up a few models, and put up some serious notes next week for discussion. I'll defer the conversion from the fast-export stream to dumpfilev3 for now. As usual, everyone is welcome to join in. [1] The work's in a bit of a mess, but I'll soon rebase it on `pu-base` on http://github.com/artagnon/git -- Ram
