[GSoC update] git-remote-svn: Week 4

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

Hi,

This comes a day late, owing to the fact that we've been working on a
new optimization branch of the SVN exporter [1]. The remote helper now
has an import capability which invokes svn-dump-fast-export with a
dump file. I'm maintaining a branch of svn-dump-fast-export [2] that I
intend to merge into git.git soon- I've already sent some patches from
there to the list. I'd appreciate it if someone could review this
series (or the corresponding code on GitHub). David and I will
hopefully finish "memory" this week, and I'll start writing an SVN
client that's able to dump a remote repository to a file (sort of a
stripped down version of `svnsync` + `svnadmin dump`) towards the
later half of this week.

Would it be able to automatically convert an svn repo that started
life without the trunk/branches/tags hierarchy, but was added
after-the-fact?

I know I might be asking too much here :)

I'm currently planning on migrating my $DAY_JOB team from svn to git,
and I'm thinking of testing your work if it could do the above without
manual intervention.

For what it's worth, I'm happy with git-svn, and just thought that I
might be able to give you feedback since I'm currently in the midst of
migrating.

Sorry for my ignorance, after googling around I think I've found what
I wanted (svn2git).

This project is still at its early stages. While this is certainly a
desirable feature, we have to get a lot of other things done before we
can implement this.

No issues. It'll take another 2 months before this project can be
tested by the public.
