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.
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?
Would it be possible to the above mentioned TranslationNotifications already? Since empty repository exists in git, it overrides the svn version in translatewiki.net and as result no messages show up for translation. I don't want to add exceptions to our scripts, so the only other option is to disable the group in twn until it is migrated.
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 :)
Big thanks to you, hashar and others for being so helpful finding solutions to my numerous problems. I believe we can sort out all the remaining issues in due time.
