Hi,
I posted a question at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Git/New_repositories , but i'm not
sure that that page is watched, so i'm poking here, too:
I couldn't find any guide for migrating an existing extension from SVN
to Git. The extension in question is TranslationNotifications, which
is not currently WMF-deployed, but probably will be soon. And the
question is relevant for all other extension.
I've heard this question from a couple of people already, so here's
the official answer on-list.
Right now I'm waiting on the dust to settle with the initial migrations
before we do another batch of extensions. We're working on l10n
updates right now, and fixing the meta-repo for checking out all
extensions. Also the wmf branch so we can get back to normal
deploys needs finishing. I don't want to put off migrations for a long
time, but I'd like to finish ironing out some of the rough edges before
we put another group through the process. I'm thinking...a week
maybe?
At that time, I'll post a list for extension authors to sign up for the
next batch (maybe another 100 or so?). That should pretty much
cover the ~250 or so most active extensions. Repeat this until
we're done with extensions.
Beyond that, we'll start moving over other misc. projects and
making more and more of the SVN repo read-only.
I want to thank *everyone* for being so totally awesome with
this process. I've put a lot of work into trying to do this right
and the feedback (positive and negative) has been immensely
helpful and at times nearly overwhelming :)
