I'm very familiar with git-svn, I recommend you just learn the basics of git instead of using it though. As for using git-svn to port the whole codebase to svn, people usually use it to migrate from subversion to git, rather than the other way around. Moving from a DVCS to a centralised one means a loss of data and functionality. Subversion works for certain workflows, but the Android platform is definitely not one of them.
I'm not sure what exactly you are asking for with this Windows support suggestion. Is it not something you could work on and contribute to the project? That is the whole point of it being open source... modify the build scripts, add some Windows tools and some documentation, and offer some patches back.

Can be included binaries instead of full source code compilation and used several other workarounds... I mention that experimental support of Windows will be sufficient. In any case compilation of sources are done on ARM processor that not native for windows and linux as well... issue with "case sensitive" file system that was mention above can be solved by small "move into folder" workarounds and changes in Make files. Please understand that you force Windows developer completely change environment. Not many developers will be ready to do that. On May 5, 6:00 pm, Sean Hodges <[email protected]> wrote: > Subversion?
