David, Jonathan and I have been\nworking hard on the svn-fe.git to optimize it, and add support for\nincremental dumps. I also made another another attempt to get\nsvn-fe.git merged into git.git, and Jonathan's awesome review has made\nus fix more things- I'm confident that I'm closer to getting it merged\nnow. We also found that we're using mmap() with MAP_SHARED, and that\nthis is not portable (see discussion on mailing list)- we have started\nworking on an alternative now. After this is complete, I'll send\nanother series to the mailing list, and that should (hopefully) be\nmerged. In the meantime, I'm scrambling to complete the svnclient so\nit actually dumps data in dumpfile format, so I can connect it up with\nthe exporter. For the mid-term evaluations, I estimate that the remote\nhelper should be complete with the import capability and be merged\ninto git.git. A minimalistic export capability should be an added\nbonus.\n\n-- Ram\n"}]}
