I have lost track, I'm afraid. The problems may arise from /me doing
things wrong when trying to update the trunk with stuff from the
experimental branch.

About your comment: I understand that SVN is possibly making it more
and more difficult.

I'm not entirely opposed to switch to git.....however, I'm just
beginning to start understanding the way we should be working with SVN
and that asks me to re-learn everything..:-)

I have fears to be quite handicapped in the beginning, with git, and
thus do things wrong....but, on the other hand, I can't be the one
blocking things because of my own limitations...:-)

So, well, switching to git is OK for me but we should then have a
quite complete HOWTO, not only for the basic tasks (that, I'm more or
less used to....even if I'm not very comfortable when there are
branches and thing slike that....).

Given the development model used by upstream....and my own will to
provide backports and the better felxibility for our users, we'll end
up with quite many branches and I hope I wouldn't get lost in them...

How long would it take to switch the current repo to git?

What would help in doing so (things like svn reorganization as I did
last week in the tags/ directory)?
