Thanks for pointers stefan, i never used svn2git but i'll have a closer look.
We need to choose what will be our reference. Let me give you some context : This directory containing styles (css,etc...) is used by both website (which is still in svn and published via svnpubsub) and project documentation (which is in ivy's git repository). As infra was proposing git-svn mirror it was a good compromise. Website could live using svn:externals to fetch appropriate files, and project documentation could use git submodules. If we can't have this svn mirror i don't think we could move thoses file in a new git repository as website will not be able to access it. The ideal solutions to all this headaches would probably to have everything in git (including ivy's website), unfortunatly as far as i know we can't publish website via git @ASF for the moment. Infra offers a gitpubsub feature but i read somewhere that we can't use it to publish websites. Considering we're talking about a few files that doesn't move too often i was suggesting duplicating them by hand and/or automating it via a script during the release process. 2014-12-09 9:59 GMT+01:00 Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org>: > On 2014-12-09, Jean-Louis Boudart wrote: > > > If we need to find another solution then we should probably duplicate > > styles on git as they do not move too often.
