Yeah, we not only want 'git-remote-svn' to be able to do incremental imports, but we also want it to be able to push back to svn. > I think using notes is a better way to associate conversion informati= on > with commits, but I would probably still end up mining the notes to c= reate > some sort of svn to git mapping... =C2=A0Correct me if I'm wrong, but= I don't see > how notes would help me get from an svn rev to a git sha (a common > practice for tickets and wiki links in our organization). Ah, hmm, that is a good point. Couldn't you just tag object 0000000000000000143 for svn revision 143? > I guess after that I should add that I'm happy to help, I'm just not = sure > where my experience maps to the on going effort. Just general feedback, sanity checking, and if you're interested, "beta testing" I think would be very useful :). --=20 Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
