Hi there,
I have very little experience using SVN and even less doing a tricky
task like reimporting the history from GIT into SVN.
If anybody wants to attempt this, feel free to use the data in my the
GIT repo.
Personally, I would opt for taking the occasion to switch over to GIT
completely. I find this a much more flexible tool than SVN and believe
that texmacs would profit greatly from the flexible branching&merging
capabilities.
(e.g. the current transition of the undo system would be a typical
candidate for a branch that could be completed, stabilised and tested
before it goes into the master branch.)
If people opt for mercury, I would be just as happy. The conversion
should be straightforward. The main difference between the system should
be the question which one you are used to. I know git very well, but I
trust that mercury is just as powerful.
Greetings,
Norbert

Hi Norbert,
Yes, ik you have a copy of the repo up till May 27, then restoring
this one is probably the easiest solution. Can you or Max take
care of that (see the link posted by Max)? Apparently, this involves
some coordination with the Savannah hackers. I don't really know
how these things work. I will give you project administration rights,
for the case that you need that.
Thanks, Joris
I think the main problem is that Norber's copy is in GIT format so
that even if it contains full metadata and history
I do not know if it is possible to convert it back to SVN format in a
straighforward way.
Maybe a viable solution is to restore the SVN april backup present at
Savannah and replay the last changes according to the GIT repository.
Other possibility is to decide to switch to GIT.

I have a complete GIT repository of TeXmacs. It contains the full
history as it was in the SVN repo up until the patch from May 27:
"Context sensititive patches" by Joris.
In principle, this should contain all the information necessary to
recreate the history that was lost due to the missing backup.
You can get a copy of it using
git clone http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~nn245/git/texmacs
(I will not be able to offer this repo indefinitely -- my quota are
rather restricted)
I have no idea whether there is a straightforward way to reimport the
history into the SVN repo. It would definitely be an idea to consider
taking this occasion to over to GIT, mercury or bazaar. I have been
working with git for some time and find the simplicity of branching and
merging a huge benefit in every-day project management over SVN.
Of course, branching and merging is possible in SVN as well, but it is
just too awkward to be used as heavily as in the different distributed
systems.
Greetings,
Norbert

Hi all,
folks at savannah put backups online. We need to decide what backup
use to restore the svn repo.
Please look at for more info
