With the moving of pywikibot to Gerrit today, the last projects actively using SVN have been moved over to Git. As such, SVN is now a read-only service and the migration is done (of course any old SVN projects can always be migrated to Git/Gerrit, that's easy).
Thanks to everyone for your patience, help, bug reports, blood, sweat, tears, firstborn children...whatever you gave to this monumental effort over the past year and a half.
I'm thinking of switching to Source Safe next year because migrations are so fun ;-)

Huge thanks to everyone involved in / responsible for the migration, and those responsible for the awesomely comprehensive documentation. \o/

It's too late, I know everything - including the plan to use darcs scm to replace the revision table and cuneiform to replace wikitext.
Don't forget using git (or git compatible system) as a revision backend.
Extensions being developed on-wiki, gadgets defining their own API extensions, JavaScript templates generating HTML DOM trees, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

RIP Wikimedia's use of Subversion April 1, 2006-July 26, 2013 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/History_of_MediaWiki_version_control
Thanks to all who worked on this!
Might be time to run another online training session, to help the pywikipedia folks understand how to use Git. Anyone want to volunteer to run it?
And put a note in your calendar for sometime in 2019 or 2020 to suggest we move off Git...

Ha ha.
Seriously, there is no good theoretical new model for source code management on the horizon nor any evident newer better product. Assuming a 3-5 year lag from introduction to project adoption here, you would be pretty optimistic to assume any particular date for a new tool coming along. The next big thing could debut tomorrow, or in 2025, or never...

Thank you Chad for your tireless efforts since we engaged in the svn to git migration. You have been played a key role in ensuring the migration went smoothly for most people :-]
And a warm welcome to the pywikipediabot authors!

That's beautiful to hear. Thanks to everybody involved in this!
I guess at some point I can start thinking about taking a list of those extensions which are in SVN but not in Git, check if they have a Bugzilla component, and somehow mark their open bug reports them as "Extension is likely unmaintained, do not expect any fixes". (Or I wait for our Community Metrics to get more awesome.)
On a related note I wonder if we have any process or recommendation in place for users who are interested in continuing code development of an extension, but previous extension maintainer(s) did not reply to any emails asking for passing maintainership.
I probably get off-topic by this.

At that point, it makes sense to get it moved to git if it isn't there already (See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories/Requests) and BE BOLD and take over maintainership.

This is really cool. Thanks to Chad and everyone else that helped with this.
