Choose one to start with, is what I would do. git svn clone of a trunk only, then make that master. branch/tag history can be retained in Subversion but also up on MavenCentral as foo-x.y-sources.jar files. Unless you optimize that git-svn-clone operation by specifying the first Svn commit for the module in question, it'll need many hours to iterate over all commits to pluck out the ones pertinent to the trunk of that module.
GitHub only allows a single effective 'parent directory' for repos, so instead of the general github.com/apache org (and in lieu of github.com/apache/maven/<repo-name> which is what you'd actually want), we could do github.com/apache-maven/<repo-name>. I volunteer for some of the work. Err, maybe I should read those confluence pages. - Paul On Sun, Jun 18, 2017 at 11:51 AM, Hervé BOUTEMY <herve.bout...@free.fr> wrote: > yes, git is really ubiquitous now and nowadays could perhaps help some > contributions > here is our tracking of git migration [1] > > there are a few entries that we could move if someone takes the job: > Doxia core, Doxia Site Tools, Enforcer, Jxr, Plugin Tools, Release > > there are issues to fix when migrating 1 svn repo (trunk/tags/branch) to > many > git repos that are documented but not solved yet > Plugins and shared components are the 2 big repos, with respectively 41 > and 26 > parts if we switch to git that look hard to manage if we don't have a plan. > Perphaps Jenkins pipelines could provide some solutions on the Jenkins > side. > > Skins is perhaps not an issue any more now that we deprecated 3 old skins, > then only 2 skins remain.
