Alex said that he already keeps a backup of the development history in the form of a git-svn clone. This requires regular (manual?) pulling from SVN to keep the backup up-to-date, of course. Alex could then from time to time (everytime he pulls from SVN?) push a copy of his backup to github. This means that the backup at github will always be lagging behind a little bit. When SourceForge SVN shuts down, work can continue starting from GitHub's and/or Alex's version, whichever is newest. But if there was code in SVN that was not yet in anyone's Git backup, it will be gone. You can then mail your working copy containing the changes to Alex, of course, but that will produce only one big diff, not a nice history with commit messages. So one should make sure that the backup doesn't lag behind too much. As soon as you migrate to Git, you don't have to think about this as much. When a repository goes away, every developer has in his personal repository at least the changes _he_ did since he last synchronized, which includes history and commit messages.
