FWIW I'm quite in favor of a switch to git (even better if you choose
GitHub, as was discussed in another thread). I had to go through great
lengths to set up a private git mirror of the dmd repository, as dsource
kept dropping my git-svnimport connections, and it took forever.
svnimport is for one-off transformation, i.e. for moving from Subversion
to Git. Using git-svn is the way to have Git as your Subversion client
-- though you have to remember that it always rebases so your repository
cannot be a peer in a Git repository group, it is only a Subversion
client. The same applies for Mercurial but not for Bazaar, which can
treat the Subversion repository in a Bazaar branch poeer group. There
are ways of bridging in Git and Mercurial, but it gets painful.
Sorry, I actually meant git-svn, I confused the two.
