[Kde-scm-interest] A few questions. about Git Strategy

[Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.]

I've read through the archives, but I apologize ahead of time if any of 
this is answered already.

1. The import tool still chokes on svn:external, correct?  Any proposals on 
how to handle them, like converting to submodules?  If not, how is 
progress going on removing svn:external from the existing tree?

2. The current version of the import tool, including Thiago's fix for the 
double UTF-8 encoding, is @ http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git , correct?  
In particular, I'd like to lend some developer time toward the Git 
conversion.

3. It seems to me like whatever the next VCS is, we need to find a way to 
live along-side SVN for an indeterminate period of time.  I wasn't around 
during the CVS -> SVN move, but they operated concurrently for some time, 
correct?  Has anyone started work on a set of scripts to keep the Git tree 
in sync with the SVN tree; I know Thiago said the current import script is 
not meant for running concurrently.  Still, it seems like concurrency is 
possible and can be made mostly automatic; totally automatic if we are 
willing to accept one tree "trumping" the other (it need not the the same 
tree the whole time).
