Hi, We've completed much of the work for migrating svn packages to git repos. This project has been years in the planning but became more urgent with the upcoming Alioth shutdown. The new git repos use DEP-14 style branch names with full upstream source and upstream commit history.
For more information about the layout and workflow, see https://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/Git We also intend to convert existing pkg-gnome git repos to the new layout this week. Please speak up immediately if there are any concerns about that. Git doesn't handle renaming branches very well, so I recommend backing up any local commits, branches or tags you may have and then just doing a new clone of the repos after they have had their branches renamed. There are a few pkg-gnome repos on collab-maint that we will probably move to pkg-gnome this week too. Some packages did not export correctly so we'll need to temporarily continue using the svn repos for them. https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-gnome/?q=broken+svn+export Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
