[gentoo-soc] svn2git (svn:ignore, Summer of Code, Gentoo)

[Sebastian Pipping]

Hello Thomas, hello Thiago!


First of all great work on svn2git: It takies 7 minutes on a repo that
git-svn takes 110.  Needless to say: the rules feature rocks.

We noticed a lack of support for svn:ignore (i.e. conversion of changes
to svn:ignore over to changes to .gitignore).  As we could use that
feature for Gentoo we have proposed a project

   Add support for svn:ignore to svn2git [1]

to the list of project ideas for Summer of Code 2010.  I hope that's in
your interest.  Feel free to further promote this project on KDE
communication channels and/or send candidates our way.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Best regards,



Sebastian


PS: As of today we have svn2git as a package "dev-vcs/svn2git"
    in Gentoo [2].  If you start doing real releases we would like
    to hear.

PPS: Current svn2git seems to segfault when passing file:// URLs
     instead of SVN folders.
