Currently there is a similar solution for the wallpapers. We have a kde- wallpapers module in svn trunk for all the wallpapers that have previously been in kdebase. As Michael has already pointed out, SVN won't be around indefinitely. But until we have a better solution, I'd be ok with this.

I don't see why ripping out the data files would nullify all other history. It probably requires some effort, but the data files can be removed from history after the git conversion. Nicolás has proven that nothing is impossible with git-filter-branch ;) Seriously, I'd try to keep as much history as possible. -- Arno Rehn a...@arnorehn.de _______________________________________________ Kde-scm-interest mailing list Kde-scm-interest@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-scm-interest
