We discussed migrating from Subversion to Git. This provides many us with many advantages. Rather than port all history from Subversion to Git, we're better off to simply migrade just the head revisions of things by hand that ought to be transferred. This also provides us an opportunity to clean up cruft that has collected, such as compile code, large binary files (jars), 3rd party code, etc that should not be in our VCS.

As suggsted on the mailing list:

Clean up SVN so that the trunk looks just how we want it, minus all the
cruft, and plus a bunch of good organization.

Copy the head over to Git as a new starting point.

Make a last commit into SVN leaving a note about the new Git location.

Turn SVN into read-only mode.

SVN will stick around indefenitely as a source of historical info.
