Hi! After the exam today, I started to dig into the topic a little. So I accumulated some questions ..

I found: - the huge ./git-svn.perl, which seems to be the git-svn implementation. - ./contrib/svn-fe/ and ./vcs-svn/, those you pointed me at. Did I miss something? Is there any seperate source documentation? The source files I looked at contain only very few comments. And nothing about the big picture. I built make doc, but it seems it's mostly user documentation. > Yes, that's the plan. To be fair, it is a stretch goal. Two GSoC > students have brought us as far as a read-only remote helper.

If you like, I could provide more references, e.g. a university course project in C using git. > Some extra reading: > [...] Haven't yet read it. Hm, and there are still some general questions: What about git-svn? Whats wrong with it? (I haven't used it) I saw the huge perl script, this looks a little extreme ;). But it provides bi-directional access?! svn-fe reads a dump of the svn repo. How can this approach ever be bidirectional? Probably I've to do the extra reading first .. -- Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
