Do you think that the code can be sane again if we use git-svn as a base? Wouldn't it be better to start from scratch and use git-svn only as a reference as to how to interact with svn? > I can't say SVN (nor the Perl support libraries) are pleasant to work > with. =A0Things to keep in mind: Perhaps then it would indeed be better to just work with the C bindings, if they are equally painful. > I'm sure I'm missing some things here that my mind just blocked > out entirely... Do you have any idea how we are wrt licensing issues? II[U|R]C the svn bindings are APLv2 licensed which would be problematic if we try to use it in git? --=20 Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
