I think you misunderstood the situation. There were numerous flamewars on the topic of svn/git migration (browse through http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.literature.sword.devel to see for yourself), and I think the sitaution is a bit more complicated than what this page suggests. The powers to be IMHO actually really do not want new contributors to sword, because they would have to loose some control over the project. You may be allowed to contribute a simple bug fix, but the current state of the sword codebase is good enough for them and there is really little if any will to change status quo. And SVN serves as a pretty good barrier for entry of new contributors, so it will stay here for a long long time. > I started collecting few notes here, when we are going for migration, > this will be helpful. > http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Git_Migration See https://gitlab.com/mcepl/git-svn-tools/blob/master/git-svn-fix-authors and git-svn-fix-tags in the same repo. The result is https://gitlab.com/mcepl/sword-tools HOwever, as I said, the block for the transition is in people not in tools.
