* John Wiegley has developed a comprehensive strategy for rewriting SVN history to preserve as much information as possible about the evolution of everything, and he's working on implementing that. I expect results soon.
I wanted to chime in here and say hello; and that yes, I'm working on the modularization project with input from both Dave and Eric. I have the beginnings of the migration script up here: https://github.com/jwiegley/boost-migrate It's very rough right now, as I'm still exploring the completeness of the Subversion 'dump' format, and how to use Git plumbing to avoid the migration process taking days upon days to complete. I fully expect that when completed, the migration script will not only exactly replicate the existing Subversion repository, revision for commit (with some revisions being ommitted if they only change properties/directories, and others being split if their transactions affect multiple branches simultaneously), but it will also modularize that history at the same time, preserving as much relevant history within each module as possible. If I had full-time to work on this, I'd expect the script to be completed and within 3-4 days. Since my present workload gives me only an hour or so each day to work on it, it may be a couple weeks before I can invite sincere criticism. Until then, feel free to add yourself as a watcher on the project, and I'll post changes to it as I progress. John
