The mwmultiversion tool is still hosted in subversion. The beta project requires it to be migrated to git so we can make it a submodule of operations/mediawiki-config. svn checkout https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/mwmultiversion/multiversion
Do we need the history here...or is a copy+paste fine?
I would prefer we keep history whenever we can. Cant we reuse the svn to git migration tools available on formey? Else, I would do it using 'git svn' and some post processing of email addresses.
Yes, we can use those tools. Just needed to know :)
What should the new repo's name be?
I am not sure where to put it, most probably in `operations` since that is used to maintain WMF cluster but then the ops might complain about us cluttering their namespace. operations/mediawiki/mutiversion ? operations/mediawiki/hetdeploy
Created operations/mediawiki-multiversion today. Same permissions as operations/mediawiki-config https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=operations/mediawiki-multiversion.git
Thanks Chad :-] What about the old subversion repository? It is still accessible / readable which might be confusing. I would expect the Subversion repo to be deleted by the migration. I did try to delete it, leaving a simple README file, but I have been denied access: $ svn commit Sending mwmultiversion/README Deleting mwmultiversion/multiversion Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Access denied svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file: svn: 'svn-commit.tmp' $ URL of repo: svn+ssh://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/mwmultiversion

So I am again marking this bug resolved :-]
