Please if the goal is actually to take maintainership of the project, you should keep its history pristine. So the git commit must reflect the SVN commits. Also the SVN branches should be moved as git branches. Same for tags. See: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git > If something is not in order, please do let me know.

Though it's always cool to say it of course. ;-) But if you mean rather to do a rebirth of the project (i.e. keeping the name and simply moving the upstream to a new repository), then that's worth discussing. I am in favor to say that we should see after a few commits at least, and then if it looks like you are really giving a second life to mrxvt, we should go for it and officially give maintainership. >> Dear Andy, >> >> I use mrxvt as my only terminal emulator on about 5 different >> systems >> (all Debian).

I would prefer not staying on Sourceforge after the unfortunate events which happened (even though it changed ownership since then). Anyway I see that you chose Github above. >> If you want admin access so you can udpate the website / tracker >> let me >> know. (I think Jehan volunteered to move everything to GitLab >> sometime ago but he ran out of time as well...). Yes I am very sorry for this. I really wanted to keep hacking mrxvt, and really wanted to finish someday my work rather than keeping this unfinished feeling. But now I see that I don't think I can make the time for this anymore. It is not my main priority nowadays. So it is better if someone takes the baby from us. Since you seem a little unfamiliar with all git arcanes, I can at least take the time to rewrite the history into a git repository on github, then you can simply "fork" from it. Would you want this? But please don't work from a broken history. It just won't do it! Also why did you add release tarball and patch files directly into the tree root? I see also you have committed a lot of generated files. Do not commit generated files (sometimes there are acceptable reasons for some generated files, but here this is not the case for all the build files you added). If you could please fix all these issues first? :-) Thanks.
