Yup. Sorry about being away. The Apache Subversion project created its 1.7.x stabilization branch for our upcoming 1.7 release. This has been two years in the making, so it has been a Big Deal. I haven't had the time to properly dedicate here. I've read some of the threads, and will need to cut this short (at OSCON right now). In short, I saw a concern about how to handle the two-parent merges. That was also becoming a concern of mine, but hadn't quite reached the "geez. I dunno" stage. With these various conversion issues, I might be coming around to just saying "not really possible with the current set of tools today". I'll talk to a friend of mine to see if they have something that can help (his company does a lot of version control work, and they may have ideas/tooling). In the meantime, and I can dig in more this weekend once I get home, I'll suggest one possible road for us: 1) import just the OOO340 tip into svn 2) move all the Hg repositories over to apache-extras.org. That supports Hg and it supports "any OSI license". We can indefinitely retain history there without it being "part of" our ASF project. While it means that we won't have history in svn, it does mean that we'll have full history available to us. And in its natural Hg state. ... more later, but I just wanted to get that thought out there. Thanks, -g
