I stumbled upon rsvndump[2], which is GPLv3+ licensed and promises to produce a Subversion dump from a remote repository. This could be piped to my utility, svn-dump-fast-export[3], to produce suitable input for git fast-import. I believe this would address the first two components of Ram's. proposal and allow more focus to be given to the interesting ones. That's presuming that I have a feature-complete release by the time the GSoC project begins. My project is currently under a two-clause BSD style license. This is primarily because the two projects it derives from were distributed under the same license, rather than any preference. As I've included a reference to my project, I'll emphasise that it is a work in progress, with a handful of known bugs. At present, symlinks are damaged on update and some files disappear late in the history of my test repository. I'm planning a rewrite of the parser once symlinks are complete.
