In our case using a dump file may be easier, because our svn repository wasn't properly setup: a unique repository for several projects, and no branches / tags / trunk / releases directories. So I will have to use svn admin tools on a dump file to get a clean repository with standard directories. So if a dumpfile is as easy to use for you as a zipped repository, I think I will send a dumpfile. The other thing we need is a list of the committers who have committed
to the repos in question and the mapping from their old username to their ASF username so we can convert the old svn:author revprops to match the new ASF usernames, for consistency.
OK, I'll send this list too when we'll be ready. Once both of those are available, and all the paperwork (CLAs,
software grants, etc) are sent in and acknowledged by the ASF secretary just file an INFRA Jira ticket to schedule things and we'll get it moving.
How can I know that the paperwork is ok? I've already sent my ICLA and the software grant, but I don't know if they were properly received and processed. Thanks for your time, - Xavier -garrett
