We do have a read-only git version at git://git.apache.org/log4net.git <http://git.apache.org/log4net.git/> mirrored at github as well <https://github.com/apache/log4net> Given that svn is new to some of the people who raised their hand to help I'm a bit reluctant to add yet another tool new to them to the mix (and throw in something like git-svn or hg-svn on top of that). Combine that with the change in philosophy a distributed VCS brings. > One would not need to have write access to the original source and can > still work versioned.

I agree this would work and would be willing to give it a try with people who want to work that way. But this really depends on the people who will actually do the commit to svn (which I currently can't do myself either). Thanks for setting up the hg mirror. Stefan
