Ulrich has +addressed all known issues with svn2git and has been able to work around the +inconsistent metadata and forced commit issues in the Subversion history. + +We still have additional documentation to write, and need to finish installing +commit hooks (e.g. restricting branch creation, or ensuring appropriate data +exists on cherry-pick commits). + +We expect to open the beta repository to test commits before the end of +October. This is to allow testing of the commit hooks, and to allow developers +to test access and become familiar with git operation. Commits in this +repository will be deleted and the repository will be recreated at least once +prior to the final migration. + +Those with an interest in the migration to Git are encouraged to subscribe +to the +[FreeBSD-git mailing list](https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-git) +and test out the beta src, ports, and/or doc repositories. + +You are also welcome check out the wiki, issues, README and other documentation +at the [Git conversion tooling repo](https://github.com/freebsd/git_conv). + +We currently expect to transition the src and doc repositories in mid-November. +Additional investigation and experimentation with the ports repository is still +underway. + +Sponsor: The FreeBSD Foundation (in part)
