10 Still, maybe we should not jump on this version yet:
11 - with svn2git we could split it to several repositories easily
12 (see [1] for status you on related experiments)
13 - neither svn2git nor git-svn seem to support proper conversion of
14 changes to svn:ignore
15
16 Summer of code could help about the latter:

18
19 But pushing the conversion further into the future could also be a
20 trade-off reducing efficiency and the number of contributions.
21
22 I don't feel like proposing anything on that matter at the moment. With
23 that said: what do you and Robin think?
