If I got to the SVN page and click Browse Sources Repository
I get a viewvc display that does seem active and current.
The git repository there was just for the gsoc_2017 branch. I have
copied that code into the SVN repo. I didn't disable the git repository
to show the git history of the gsoc_2017 branch. I could disable it and
it would disappear publicly, if it is too confusing to have a git
repository active showing out of date code.
Well, the optics are bad. To have people clicking Source code ->
Browse Source Repository see code that doesn't appear to have
been updated since 2009 makes texinfo look like a dead project.
One idea: create a "bundle":
cd .../repository
git bundle create /tmp/texinfo-gsoc_2017.git-bundle --all
and then save the resulting file /tmp/texinfo-gsoc_2017.git-bundle on
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/
You can "unbundle" using clone:
git clone /tmp/texinfo-gsoc_2017.git-bundle texinfo-gsoc_2017
git checkout gsoc_2017
