Oh, we need to pull a fresh copy using svn or the svn import thingie
from git. But get the history directly from the svn repo, not from
svk's.

This is very desirable since, like you said, svk makes it difficult to
know what log is what. And subversion's way of keeping revisions is
highly inefficient. Git definitely rocks.

Let's get together Saturday (today) at 20:00 UTC to discuss?

For now, everybody should just merge their changes up and make sure
they don't work on the subversion tree anymore. (I was about to start
merging the RPM patches, but I'll wait until we move to git).

After switching to git, Splashy will be fully distributed. We still
need to keep the main package in git.debian.org though. Can you ask
for this from the Alioth masters? I guess we need to create a git
module first.
