[GSoC update] git-remote-svn: Week 11

Hi,

I'm happy to report that I'll soon be getting partial committer access to the ASF repository (thanks to Greg for this) and will be able to commit the svnrdump there. At the moment, all the validations pass without any issues and I've shifted my focus towards writing a dumpfile v3 parser [1] to get the data into David's exporter. I will re-roll a series for git.git in some time again after I've fixed a few pending things pointed out by Jonathan in his excellent reviews and merged a few patches from Will; although this isn't top priority, it will be pretty painful for Git developers to compile the SVN trunk even if they want to try out git-remote-svn.

Currently, I'm implementing svndiff0 parser component of the dumpfile v3 parser using Sam's Perl implementation [2] as a guideline. In addition, with an excellent specification present in the Subversion trunk [3], this shouldn't be a problem.
