This would save quite a bit of time.
I like this idea ... if the old SVN server is still available
and we can do a progressive conversion of the rest of the Hg
stuff we will save a lot of metadata that had previously been
lost (plus we save conversion time).
It's still available: http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo resp.
svn://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo
You can use svnsync to create a local copy of the rep. Will take a while :-)
I suspect the original CVS stuff that was lost in SVN conversion
is gone for good by now.
Oh, I'm pretty sure that it's still available somewhere. There have been
some CVSup mirrors of the stuff.
But, frankly, I can't see the need of having the CVS stuff at hand. It's
very hard to make sense of this historical data anyway, at least if you
haven't got a decade of OOo developer knowledge under the belt.
It's true that the conversion was lossy, but that was intentional! You
wouldn't believe how much cruft can accumulate in a decade of happy
coding. A full conversion of our old CVS repository into SVN resulted in
a SVN repository of about 90 GiB in size.
Also, having the complete repository (with branches) in google
code sounds like a good approach.
