I am about to go out of town, but when I get back (December) I will have a go at this if no one else has done so already. Every time in the past when I have attempted to make a git clone of the Twisted repository, git has complained that the Twisted svn repo is corrupt in some way. If there is already a reliable bzr mirror of Twisted, it might be easier to base the git repo on that instead. Does that seem feasible? dave
