For the past several weeks, I've been mirroring various Subversion repositories for projects I'm interested in (e.g., Django, jQuery, MacPorts) to GitHub. With a combination of svnsync and munged git-svn repositories on my own server, I've been able to push "clean" mirrors to GitHub with all the original svn branches (i.e., not just "master"/trunk).
I just deleted these, however, because I realized I was cluttering up my "own" space and feeds with mirrors, and furthermore, I'd like to be able to cleanly fork from these and push up my own development branches apart from the mirrors. That said, would it be okay if I set up a specific "mirror" account just for mirroring various open-source projects? I know the terms currently state one-account-per-user, but I was hoping this could be seen as a useful service for GitHubbers. One thing I enjoyed about LaunchPad was that they go out of their way to import as many svn repositories as possible, encouraging use of Launchpad even if the official repository for a project wasn't hosted there; I'd like to see something similar on GitHub, whether along the lines of what I just described or a more "official" solution. (And when are we going to see Octocat shirts for sale?) ^_^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
