Thanks a lot for the offer. I'm currently playing around with svn2git but
haven't succeeded yet.

Yes, the current structure is not optimal because plugins reside in their
own directory and are linked to the roundcubemail directory using
svn:externals.

I agree. What we currently have in trunk/roundcubemail should become root
in master and trunk/plugins should go into their final destination folder
in root. All the rest that still lingers around in trunk can be ignored for
now and should then go into separate repositories later on.

There's one development branch (devel-framework) which has to be
transferred as well. And tags of course should become, well, tags.

I'll definitely get back to you 'cause I'm still a git-rookie.

Thanks!
