I don't know if I'm ready for Git yet, I'm just getting accustomed to
SVN after having dropped CVS, but see the bottom for a solution that
may perhaps work.

As perhaps the only active developer on it besides Ulrich, one of the
earliest adopters of wxCode, and an absentee administrator, I have to
say that it has not worked out as planned.

The real reason is not technical, but simply manpower and interest.
Projects need to be marked as working, updated to 2.9, documentation,
working builds, etc and nobody has the time or interest.

This has never been a problem as far as I know.

There is a "live" SVN -> Git translator and wxWidgets uses it. Perhaps
this could work here as well?
