Sometimes I missed the history from NMaven. So option three would be great, if 
you ask me.

And yes I have a working git clone. I First fetched the oldest revision 
explicitely and then did the svn rebase.

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
