Alfredo and Gaby, I think we should get the Google repository reloaded ASAP.

But to do that we *must* get the Google Code masters to reset our svn repository on Google back to zero. Since we do not have svnadmin access to the repository this is apparently something that we can not do ourselves. Any change that we make (including deletions!) do not result any any decrease in the amount of space already used in the repository files. We need to start again from an empty repository state. Alfredo, will you please contact Google and ask them to reset it? I have SVK running reliably now on the axiom-developer.org server. With SVK it is possible to transfer an entire repository from one location to another without having svnadmin export import access. For example as described here: http://svk.elixus.org/?RecoverSVNMasterFromSVKMirror I would like to try this, but first we need to have an empty repository on Google and not just one that "appears" to be that way. :-) Meanwhile I am still having fun using Tailor to convert from one type of repository to another svn<->darcs<->hg and experimenting with mercurial versus darcs... If SVK doesn't work out, then I am sure that I can persuade Tailor to also do svn <-> svn from one location to another. But since SVK is native to svn, I think we should try that first. Both of these can be run periodically via crontab so that no manual intervention would be involved in keeping at least one-way mirrors up to date. (Two-way involves the potential to that one might have to manually resolve conflicts.) I am still struggling with get svn installed in server mode on axiom-developer.org but I hope to have more time to work on that soon.
