Hi folks,

I've made a few attempts at how we might import the code from Codeplex a while 
back. It's quite difficult due to the svnbridge that doesn't support most of 
the mirroring without difficulties (svnsync, git-svn, hg). The most workable 
solution to keep history intact seems to be recreating the individual commits 
(with svn:author, svn:date and svn:log values), which is something "tfs2svn" 
tries to do. That's been working ok, but I didn't get the whole way through. I 
think Lars managed a git clone somehow that might be a helpful basis too?

There's 3 alternatives:
- direct import of latest code, leaving history behind
- take the codeplex revs across as a new import into the svn repository 
(maintain history as it was at codeplex)
- start from the previous nmaven branchpoint in the incubator and apply the 
changes on top of it up until today (full history since where it forked from). 
I have the revision details to achieve this if wanted.

Thoughts? How much history do we want to keep?

Cheers,
Brett
