Short version: If there's anyone interested in git-remote-svn and has some free time, please join the team. We currently have more work than the team can handle, and the deadline is drawing closer. Longer "what's cooking" version: 1. svnrdump: The version merged into trunk at subversion/svnrdump is in excellent shape, thanks to the Subversion developers. This week, we fixed the dump output to include missing headers, revision 0, match the newlines from the output of `svnadmin dump`, included authentication support, and thoroughly scrubbed the codebase. 2. Regression tests for svnrdump: Since I'm only a partial committer, I need approval to commit outside svnrdump/ - I've already sent patches for tests to the mailing list and am waiting for approval. Instead of validating against 10k revisions of a repository, there are reduced tests cases to test just the edge cases in the trunk and we're using these- it will make the tests easier to run, and debugging much easier. 3. svnrload: I just started working on this in branches/svnrload, designing it as the inverse version of svnrdump. This is very non-trivial work, and will take us atleast a few weeks to complete. 4. Dumpfilev3 support for svn-fe: Since we're running out of time, I've decided to depend on libsvn for parsing the svndiff0, and remove the dependency later. I should be able to finish this off in a a few days; my current work is in the dumpfilev3 branch. 5. Zero-tree refactor: I don't really know if we'll be able to complete this in time. I've asked Jonathan to do as little as possible to make svn-fe Git-aware. 6. Ternary-treap refactor: This isn't strictly necessary either, and I've decided to let David work on it in his own time. 7. Modifications to svn-fast-import: Sverre, and Jonathan: what's the status of this? 8. Exporter for converting the fast-export stream into a dumpfilev3 to feed svnrload: Can someone work on this? 9. Trunk/ branch/ tag mapper: I'm dropping all post-processing for the moment. We don't have anyone to work on this, and it's independent of everything else- it can easily be worked on later. Thanks for reading. -- Ram ``` ## Sverre Rabbelier, 2010-07-25 19:56 Subject: Re: git-remote-svn: Call for manpower Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTinrAAmr17ujD0ubOQQEZsEy%3DR0k2Q4HV-5WvyrR%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20100725102908.GA2726@kytes> ``` Heya, On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 05:29, Ramkumar Ramachandra wrote: > 7.

I was not planning to submit more git fast-import patches until the caller is using it, so we can see how well it works and not get locked into a wrong interface. Though I would not complain if the fast-import changes happen before then anyway. ;-) Jonathan ```
