Right. As Chad says this is just a project to make a conversion to Git. Whether anyone ends up using it or not is another issue. What we're trying to do is: * Set up a git-svn mirror on github which people can use to work with MediaWiki's SVN through Git We've been given free hosting by Github to do this there: http://support.github.com/discussions/site/1281-are-you-interested-in-giving-me-free-space-to-host-mediawikigit Even if you don't want to use git-svn it's nice to have a mirror or Github just because it makes it easy for a lot of people already there to follow the project. * Convert the MediaWiki Subversion repository to something that looks native in Git This involves splitting up the repository & rewriting commits. See this E-Mail for info: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-February/046667.html There are outstanding issues with both of these which I've filed in a tracker at Github here: http://github.com/mediawiki/mediawiki-svn/issues If you (or anyone else) is interested in helping either one of those happen then by all means join us. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
