As noted on overseers, once Saturday's DATESTAMP update has run at 00:16
UTC on Saturday, I intend to add a README.MOVED_TO_GIT file on SVN trunk
and change the SVN hooks to make SVN readonly, then disable gccadmin's
cron jobs that build snapshots and update online documentation until they
are ready to run with the git repository. Once the existing git mirror
has picked up the last changes I'll make that read-only and disable that
cron job as well, and start the conversion process with a view to having
the converted repository in place this weekend (it could either be made
writable as soon as I think it's ready, or left read-only until people
have had time to do any final checks on Monday). Before then, I'll work
on hooks, documentation and maintainer-scripts updates.
Where and when and by who was it decided to use this conversion?
Joseph, please point to message on gcc@ mailing list that expresses consensus
of GCC community to use reposurgeon conversion. Otherwise, it is not
appropriate to substitute one's opinion for community consensus.
I've gone back through this thread (if I've missed, or misrepresented,
anybody who's expressed an opinion I apologize now).

"If Joseph and Richard agree a candidate is good, then I will agree as
well. All that can be left is nit-picking, and that is not worth it
anyway:"

"When Richard and I spoke we generally agreed that we felt a reposurgeon
conversion, if it could be made to work was the preferred solution,
followed by Maxim's approach and lastly the existing git-svn mirror."
Richard Earnshaw (lists) <richard.earns...@arm.com>
FWIW, I now support using reposurgeon for the final conversion.
And, of course, I'm taking Joseph's opinion as read :-)
So I don't see any clear dissent and most folks just want to get this
done.
I want GCC community to get the best possible conversion, being it mine or
reposurgeon's. To this end I'm comparing the two conversions and will post my
results later today.
Unfortunately, the comparison is complicated by the fact that you uploaded only "b" version of
gcc-reposurgeon-8 repository, which uses modified branch layout (or confirm that there are no substantial
differences between "7" and "8" reposurgeon conversions).
The main differences are
a) more revisions added due to commits upstream
b) release tags from SVN era now on the main release branch rather than
in sidings
c) more author fixups from Joseph's cross validation against your
repository and reposurgeon's own reports of suspect attributions
