Notes from KDE + Git BOF:

Current situation: amarok goes first, gets basic infrastructure set up, scripty, etc.

what do we need for the git transition? [...] snapshot to read-only svn? (it's work, but maybe some people would like it)

--> NEEDED for documentation, in order to get it back into SVN for the translators/scripty/?

I took a look at this item and I think the easiest way to implement this is by using git-svn like this:

1) Setup:

git svn clone svn-url-where-to-put-the-snapshots snapshots cd snapshots git remote add -f source git://...repo-url

2) Periodically:

cd snapshots git fetch source git read-tree source/git-branch git commit -m "snapshot from $url at $date" git checkout . git svn dcommit

With this mechanism (git read-tree) we could even provide snapshots from git to svn of just a single subdirectory from a git repository, such as the doc/ subdirectory.

Now I'd like to put this all together into a script, and I'm wondering what the best place would be to put it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, does anyone know who exactly was looking for this "feature"?
