Yeah. That the commit hashes are different is a big problem. Brad King from Kitware is here at boostcon and is really good with git... he's shown me a Better Way to do this mirroring that enables one to git svn dcommit directly from the git clone. When I've got this all grokked, I'll give notice here, put the new one up and take the old one down.
This is great to hear, I look forward to it.
While I don't hold out hope that Boost will move to Git anytime soon (pretty please?), perhaps it's time that boost.org have an official Git mirror, so that folks don't end up re-inventing the wheel? Or nominate one of these two (that we know of) to be official?
The thing would be to give it some exercise... I'd be glad to push/pull some changes to you to try everything out. It'd be nice to see some kind of experimental megabranch with various vault code in it, like process and extension.
That'd be sweet. Let me know what I can do to help, I've got a gitosis repo I can add you to for testing purposes.
If things really work out well and we know exactly what we want, I think there is some chance that we'd be able to get the mirror put on the same physical machine as the svn repo, which has various advantages over polling the svn repo via the network.
Sounds perfect, thanks for the hard work to put this together.
