* Git / Subversion Interoperability The idea here is implement something in Git that speaks the Subversion protocol on the wire, but uses Git as the backend storage. (This would be like the existing git-cvsserver.) There are two potential approaches: 1. git-svnserver 2. write a backend for Subversion Goal: To be able to access git repository, at minimum read-only, from a Subversion client, at least svn CLI. Language: Open for proposal. Suggested mentors: Eric Wong (git-svn author) Matthias Urlichs (git-svnimport author) Notes: I don't think we could pass it as Subversion SoC project, but I guess that we could ask for co-mentor for the Subversion protocol, or Subversion backend part of this task.
FWIW: I have a partially implemented python git-svnserver that speaks the svn:// protocol ... so far I can checkout from a git repos using the svn client, and not much else. It's been on the backburner for a while, but I had recently thought about revisiting it - but getting someone else to do the implementation works too ;)
