poking around, probably the best bet is to set a day to convert (or maybe whenever your cmake branch is done) and merge the cmake branch to trunk and just do: svn2git http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn --nobranches --notags --revision #

this will sadly throw away all the history, but we can always have that archived on Google Code. doing svn2git http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn --nobranches --notags --revision 2389 took me 30 mins to get it up on github. (doing a full history preservation took probably almost 2 hours, and I had to do more work with deleting old branches that popped back up)

I'm also excited about this project possibly moving to git. Great news!

another note on moving to git, if they do preserve the full history, it is probably a good idea to also fill out the authors.txt so the names show up nice and pretty instead of the automatic way svn2git does

Code:

3dDavidATgmail.com =

akkadius1ATgmail.com =

AndMetal =

andrew80kATgmail.com =

Angelox22 =

bad.captain01ATgmail.com =

bad.captain01 =

caryatisjrATgmail.com =

Caryatisjr =

cavedude00 =

espause0703ATgmail.com =

espause0703 =

gmt2001ATgmail.com =

jaredbATdaerma.com =

jeremiah.oligarioATgmail.com =

josheb238ATgmail.com =

kayen85ATgmail.com =

KimmySpriteATgmail.com =

KimmySprite =

leere.nichtsATgmail.com =

romai1337 =

sorvaniATgmail.com =

uleat.charismataATgmail.com =

weissres =

These are all the authors according to svn log (replaced @ with AT for people sniffy email reasons)

Each should be filed out like, even the duplicate ones, since they are different and will be treated as such.

Code:

bob = Bob Smith <bob.smith@example.com>

Aye, saw that.

Currently in the setting up the organization on Github phase. Gonna merge CMake tomorrow I think then work on transitioning over the next week or two.

BTW, a couple of months ago I went through the list of committers on the SVN and identified them all in the notes here:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/people/list

Most are pretty obvious, but some of the usernames don't match the name they are known by for EQEmu.

We're still coming up with a new scheme for the database updates before we can do anything on this front. Obviously by SVN revision isn't going to work on a DVCS.

Cavedude and I have been coming up with a separate database revisioning system.

Why not just create a tag for each time you want to mark where the DB is up to on the server repo?

Two reasons:
1) The system as it stands now is annoying as shit anyway.
2) I think by using tags what that really means is KLS has to continually tag things after people forgot.

Wait, you don't want to play mommy and clean up after the kids? :-D

Thinking we will be moved over in the next week or so (hoping to do it this weekend).

Btw I didn't see it mentioned, but the conversion is significantly faster if you clone the entire svn repo to your local disk first, and use that to convert instead.

I decided we wont be doing a full convert anyway since I want to reorganize a few things + get the big binaries out of the repo anyway.

I hope to have us switched over by the end of today.
