Hi all,

The import of PhoneGap sources to Apache was a bit delayed since there
weren't any good tools for mapping the Git version history to
Subversion, and it can be pretty painful to loose all that
information.

To solve that problem I wrote a simple script [1] that does a
reasonably good mapping from Git to Subversion using temporary
branches to work around the limitations of Subversion.

I'm still testing the script to spot any remaining issues, but it's
looking pretty good already. I should be able to do the conversion
later today after which one of the Subversion admins at Apache needs
to import the converted history to svn.apache.org. That shouldn't take
too long, so I'm expecting the process to be ready by tomorrow.

Any pending commits that haven't yet been pushed to the main PhoneGap
repositories will need to be rebased to the new repositories, but that
should be fairly straightforward.
