Create a git mirror. > in the latter case, i’d be interested in why you don’t > swich to git entirely. Because I'm not the developer. That decision would have to be made in the team developing PGF. If they don't like svn/git or other tools, I cannot make decisions instead of them what they have to use. >> When I tried to do conversion from CVS, the .cvsignore files are the >> only leftovers that somehow bother me (I would really like to get rid >> of .cvsignore files and put some gitignore somewhere, without my >> commit being visible), but then I noticed that .cvsignore -> >> .gitignore conversion is still on TODO list. > > that cvs2git didn’t build it in makes me wonder what the big problem is. I was testing only "git cvsimport" so far, but the homepage of cvs2svn claims that they don't support it yet (they are looking for developers to implement it).

I'm not talking about encoding only. I would also like to reshuffle files (create TDS structure out of current repository of pgf).
