Hi,
Continuing the git-remote-svn effort from two summers ago, I want to complete the Git -> SVN bridge.
Note: This is intended to be a very short proposal because I'm already a regular Git contributor, and I have an incomplete version of what I intend to build [0]. This is not a good example of a proposal that the Git community expects from a new student.
-- 8< -- # The project
There's another prospective student handling the SVN -> Git side of things. I want to invest time in doing the reverse: Git -> SVN conversion. There's unmerged code from back then [1] [2] to get things started. This plus svnrdump (a tool that I wrote merged into the Subversion tree) can help complete the Git -> SVN bridge and the remote helper.
# About me
I was a Summer of Code student with Git the last two summers. In 2010, I worked on a remote helper for Subversion, and in 2011, I worked on building a sequencer. Both of them are successful projects and code has been merged into upstream.
Pick me only if you're sure that I'm not getting in the way of other prospective student; I intend to work with Git this summer anyway, and I don't want the community to lose new students.
