What is the status of fa/remote-helper? An excerpt from recent "What's cooking": * fa/remote-svn (2012-08-28) 16 commits - Add a test script for remote-svn - remote-svn: add marks-file regeneration - Add a svnrdump-simulator replaying a dump file for testing - remote-svn: add incremental import - remote-svn: Activate import/export-marks for fast-import - Create a note for every imported commit containing svn metadata - vcs-svn: add fast_export_note to create notes - Allow reading svn dumps from files via file:// urls - remote-svn, vcs-svn: Enable fetching to private refs - When debug==1, start fast-import with "--stats" instead of "--quiet" - Add documentation for the 'bidi-import' capability of remote-helpers - Connect fast-import to the remote-helper via pipe, adding 'bidi-import' capability - Add argv_array_detach and argv_array_free_detached - Add svndump_init_fd to allow reading dumps from arbitrary FDs - Add git-remote-testsvn to Makefile and .gitignore - Implement a remote helper for svn in C (this branch is used by fa/vcs-svn.) A GSoC project. Looked promising. Waiting for comments from mentors and stakeholders. * fa/vcs-svn (2012-08-28) 4 commits - vcs-svn: remove repo_tree - vcs-svn/svndump: rewrite handle_node(), begin|end_revision() - vcs-svn/svndump: restructure node_ctx, rev_ctx handling - svndump: move struct definitions to .h (this branch uses fa/remote-svn.) A GSoC project. Looked promising. Waiting for comments from mentors and stakeholders.
