Currently I'd like Boost to stick with svn and suggest people who like git shall try "git-svn" or "git svn" (git seems to have native support for svn.)
The Mercurial fans should look into hgsubversion:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgSubversion http://mercurial.aragost.com/kick-start/en/hgsubversion/
This is a Mercurial extensions.
I tried both git-svn and hgsubversion. Both take ages (measured in hours for me) for the first clone of the Boost repo. When git-svn finally finished, I got a blank local repo. I don't know why. Yeah! blank. As in nothing happened. With Hg-svn, it reported an error at one point and stopped cloning. I had to do it again, but I got frustrated and lost interest. Perhaps it's user error on my part, but it's not clear what I did wrong.
Have any of you guys successfully used git-svn
This repository was created with git-svn https://github.com/ryppl/boost-svn It was being kept up-to-date at least until recently. You can clone that as a starting point and should be able to start using it with git-svn.
and/or hgsubversion with the Boost repo? Could you try and give me some hints on how to go about it? I'm not an expert on either Git or Hg and if a mistake/error will cost many hours of waiting, with indeterminate hit-or-miss results, then it's simply not worth trying.
