Well, he volunteered, right? ;-)

Given that Torgny is pretty new to kdepim (compared to most other 
PIMsters) and probably doesn't know that much about its wild past and 
its youthful follies he'll probably need help from an oldtimer. I 
suppose that could be me. (Did I really just say this? I must be crazy. 
Now, how do I free up 60 GB on my hard disks?)

Is there are short howto which describes how to rsync our svn repo and 
then how to use it with svn2git? Hmm, okay, found some information on 
this on http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/MoveToGit/UsingSvn2Git.
