Hey all,

I've cloned the entire KDE4 history of kopete (since r615086) at
github.com using git-svn. The entire history fits in 14MB, much less
than the 29MB of files, or the 44MB SVN Checkout. Hooray!!

http://github.com/gja/kopete/

Also note that since r932873, kopete builds outside of kdenetwork

You can change the svn credentials using the script called
git-kde-svn-addcredentials
( http://gja.in/pub/git-kde-svn-addcredentials ).
This ties the checkout to a particular svn username, and can only be
done once. (see below for example usage) Sorry, this does not work with 
anonsvn :(.

Anyone who wants to use kopete using git-svn can just do the following
steps:
1) Clone my repository (or fork, if you wish)
   $ git clone git://github.com/gja/kopete.git
2) Change into the new directory
   $ cd kopete
3) Download the script, and execute it to set the username and path
   $ git-kde-svn-addcredentials <username> trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/kopete
4) Update the repository (this step regenerates git-svn's cache)
   $ git svn rebase
5) Branch, and do your work :)
   $ git checkout -b mybranch

Please note that the script in step 3 removes the remote called origin.
This means you cannot pull/push back to (my) git repo. Use git-svn
rebase and dcommit to keep your repository up to date.
