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.
