Yes, and then there's the issue of if LocalSettings.php can survive
unscathed etc.
You should do a fresh clone from git rather than trying to turn
a SVN repo into a Git one. Then you can just copy LocalSettings
from one directory to another.
We also read that the SVN will continue to exist in
some form. So maybe
we pure downloaders don't need to do anything... for a few years.
Yes, we do plan to leave SVN up in read-only form for quite some
time after the changeover. Be aware that once we switch, changes
won't be merged back into the SVN.
