My idea is to write the git-svnserver!!! I think it will be easier. To begin coding, i plan to write basic functions [updade,commit,checkout, copy,merge,...] then start to implement most "complex" instructions. As spearce said before, the idea of this is to migrate from svn to git without many trouble in transition, so basic can work as the initial thought. > > -- > Karl Hasselström, kha@xxxxxxxxxxx > www.treskal.com/kalle -- Bruno Ribas - ribas@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://web.inf.ufpr.br/ribas C3SL: http://www.c3sl.ufpr.br - 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
