Re: Starting the Git Experiment
Oops, forgot that status update. I reran the scripts for the mirrors on git.apache.org using the same version of git-svn I used to generate the last writable git repo. The result was that it calculated the same hashes as what we had so I feel comfortable blaming this on the different git-svn versions. Bottom line, any project that already has a mirror on git.apache.org will just use that as the basis for the new writable repo so that hashes will are preserved.
