Just a short heads-up on the ongoing svn2git transformation: I was able to create one of the two desired git repositories from our SVN repository with git version 2.14.2.windows.3 on Windows 10 via https://git-scm.com/docs/git-svn saving the remote author file from https://git-wip-us.apache.org/authors.txt locally aside.
1. First repo, our website: https://svn.apache. org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/site/ <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/site/> via the command "git svn clone https://svn.apache.org/repos/ asf/incubator/odf/site -T trunk -t tags -A authors.txt" You may the result find on: https://github.com/ svanteschubert/odftoolkit-site NOTE: We should add a README with the information from http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/website-local.html <http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/website-local.html> after we agreed on the outcome. 2. Second repo, our main repo from https://svn.apache.org/repos/ asf/incubator/odf/ is still ongoing. The direct transformation via the command "git svn clone https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf> -T trunk -t tags -A authors.txt" failed first. As "devinhan" also appeared earlier as "devin" and could not be found in the "author.txt" and the execution stopped overnight. After duplicating Devin's entry according to his previous ID in the local "authors.txt", it worked and had about half a dozen connect problems overnight (the latter using Linux) and local svn repo was not accepted. Therefore, I am trying now to simplify and clone the SVN repo via: 1. svnrdump dump https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/trunk > source-repo.dump 2. svnadmin create /path/to/repository 3. svnadmin load /path/to/repository < svnexport.dump But if this fails again, I am pretty sure, I will suggest using the existing git repo form: https://github.com/apache/odftoolkit and the website from https://github.com/svanteschubert/odftoolkit-site You may already take a look at the git repos from github if you notice some problems and/or further todos before we hand them over to Infra: https://github.com/svanteschubert/odftoolkit-site For instance, a README is missing, for instance with the website handling. And the existing project repo: https://github.com/apache/odftoolkit What do you think?
