I don’t think there is any technical issue of mirroring a repository whether in SVN or Git.
But it’s not a very nice situation where an SVN repository is mirrored to Git and then you have to fiddle around making a patch and getting it back into SVN. I think it would just be nicer for users now to have everything in Git and it certainly makes our lives easier when processing PRs which is just the de facto way people contribute now. Or, at least the way they want to contribute. I think the real issue with something like maven-shared is that it really should be broken up if it’s actually going to be migrated to Git. If we all wanted to hang out for a couple hours on IRC or a Google Hangout and just refine any scripts we have I’m up for that. I think Kristian has most of it working anyway. > On Sep 9, 2015, at 10:57 AM, Tibor Digana <tibordig...@apache.org> wrote: > > Jason, is it possible to have regular repo > https://github.com/apache/maven-shared without mirroring from > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/shared/trunk/ ? > If a contributor in GitHub creates a new PR, then I won't migrate it to SVN. > Nevertheless I am still fine to have mirror in > git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf. > If migrating SVN is not possible to the existing Git repo, then INFRA can > create a new Git repo maven-shared-new or something like that. > It should not be a problem to make a copy from SVN database to Git because > this is normally done in my company.
