Is there any how-to on moving SVN repo. along with it's history to TL? Is it possible/planned at all?
Also could you clarify on "...WMF doesn’t provide SVN hosting, but volunteers can create an SVN project in Labs.". I can create a repo in my home dir or what? How would I access it from my machine then? Can I just enable and configure WEBDAV on some public_html dir?
As DaB. explained, the roots can provide you with a dump of your SVN repository. You can then import ("load") this into a repository in your home directory and access it via ssh (this seems to be possible from Windows as well, cf. http://sebastian.thiele.me/blog/tortoise-svn-putty-ssh-windows/2438 (German)). If you create a dummy tool and put the reposi- tory in the tool directory, all users in the tool group should be able to write to it as well.
You could also import the dump for example to SourceForge (cf. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Subversion%20import%20inst...) and probably other hosters.
I don't know of any plans regarding WebDAV.
Yes I know Git is superior and all that, but I don't want to get into the discussion of history on a full tree versus history on a file. I just want to know if I will be able to use SVN on your servers and just switch my local directory without any needless conversions.
You can get the history of a file with "git log FILENAME"; if you want to follow the history through renames, use "git log --follow FILENAME".
