I'm surprised you think that; I find the svn dump format quite easy and straightforward. (Of course it assumes some Subversionisms, like easy deep directory copies, which I can imagine would be annoying in other contexts.) What don't you like about the format?
Is there good doco and samples for it? I wouldn't mind doing things by way of an SVN dump parser.
Yes, fast-import is a very easy-to-write format and looks to be very well documented. I don't think that having to write output in fast-import format would be any kind of a hindrance for such a tool.
Damn! You've now figured out that all my volunteering was for the easy part of the job ;-) m - 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
