I switched mdadm over to git and disabled access to the SVN
repository. You can clone the repository from

  git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-mdadm/mdadm.git

or

  ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-mdadm/mdadm.git
  (if you're a member of the pkg-mdadm project)

Patches should be sent to this mailing list, here are some
instructions for logcheck, I'll use the same model for mdadm:

  http://www.logcheck.org/git.html

In the repo, there are a couple of branches:

  upstream: the tip of Neil's master branch
  debiandir: the Debian directory and all files therein
  deb-only/*: Debian-specific feature branches
  master: the branch where everything is merged to prior to a release
  etch-stable: the code as it is in etch

If you're unsure how to use these branches, please ask. In general,
if you're hacking on a Debian-specific feature, create a new
deb-only/* branch off debiandir and use that. If you're fixing bugs
under debian/*, branch off a deb-fix/* branch off debiandir. If
you're fixing a bug in upstream code, branch off a fixes/* branch
off upstream, if you're hacking on a feature that's
non-Debian-specific, branch a feature/* branch off upstream, and if
you want to make a test release, branch a test/* branch off master
and merge all the branches you want to test there.

I'll likely add a pu branch as well for more experimental stuff and
reserve the master branch for changes that go into the next release.

Feel free to ask any questions about the use of git here or on IRC.

Cheers,
