Thanks! It looks perfect to me. I see that you integrated the Authored-by tags, and kept the SVN metadata as footnotes, which is great. It also looks like the existing forks (https://github.com/imagej/imagej/network/members) have minimal or no changes, so hopefully no one will be burned too badly. One question: if we force-push this rewritten branch to master, how will that affect existing topic branches? Presumably they will have to be rebased (http://www.linuxhowtos.org/manpages/1/git-rebase.htm#lbAK)... do you anticipate any problems with that? Unless there is some other reason to wait, I propose we switch to your rewritten branch ASAP on Monday and notify people accordingly. I will make the SVN repository read-only at that time, to prevent anyone's work from going to /dev/null. -Curtis P.S. to the curious: It has been more than a year and a half since we switched the ImageJ2 repository from Git to SVN. During that time, our development team has been using Git more and more. We have been using the ImageJ2 Git mirror (https://github.com/imagej/imagej) with Git-SVN for quite some time now, and have become proficient enough with the command-line tools to prefer it over SVN. So even though some of our original reasons for switching to SVN are still valid (http://imagej.net/pipermail/imagej-devel/2010-September/000153.html), we feel there are many more reasons to switch back—in particular: GitHub is a truly phenomenal tool for worldwide collaboration on open source projects!
