Remote helpers: bidi git remote-svn (or one-way remote-hg, or > remote-cvs, or ...). I wrote a small introduction and created an entry for git-remote-svn in the wiki [1]. Two minor concerns: 1. The student will have to work very closely with us, and pick up a lot of scattered WIP patches. I hope he doesn't get confused between what's merged and what's in-progress. 2. The project isn't as de-coupled as we'd ideally like. The student has to learn about the new fast-import features, and the information contained in an SVN replay dumpstream before diving in. Other than these, I think most of the pending work is in the mapper. > 4. filter-branch killer: using fast-import's new features to implement > common filter-branch operations (--subdirectory-filter, > --prune-empty, obliterating certain files) faster. This is an interesting project that I'd also thought about: it might get tangled up along with the Sequencer project though. Should we put up this project on the wiki nevertheless? p.s- Sorry about the late reply; I wasn't in station. [1] SoC2011Ideas#Welcome and SoC2011Ideas#Remote_helper_for_Subversion -- Ram
