[Texmacs-dev] Full history backed up in my GIT repo (Re: Savannah outgage)

[Norbert Nemec]

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
