 Still to sort out:

  * ~~xapian-maintainer-tools/make-xapian-svn-snapshot-tarballs~~
  * ~~xapian-maintainer-tools/svn-tag-release~~
  * ~~Trac - enable git integration~~
  * ~~Website~~
    * ~~/bleeding~~
    * ~~links to files in SVN via trac.xapian.org/browser~~
  * ~~Buildbot~~
  * ~~Make SVN repo read-only~~
  * ~~Enable pushing to master git repo~~
  * ~~Dismantle SVN to git mirroring machinery~~

 Once we've moved, we can drop handling for SVN from:

  * ~~bootstrap~~ (needs pushing)
  * ~~xapian-core/HACKING (git-svn requirement, etc)~~
  * ~~website (/bleeding)~~

 Also to update:

  * ~~debian packaging - e.g. Vcs-Browser and Vcs-svn in control files~~

 Miscellaneous:

  * Trac - currently we're patching 1.0.2 - we should sort out feeding
 these upstream, or doing them via a plugin (if that's possible):
    * Allowing r12345 and [12345] to keep working for SVN, which allowing
 [103357b] to work for git
    * Allow 7 hex digits for a git commit hash (as that's what git's
 abbreviated commit hash is by default) - trac requires 8 by default
  * ~~Rename svn-ci to xapian-commit~~
  * Consider a switch to gitolite or Simon Tatham's stuff

Comment:

 Works after a chmod -R g+w of the relevant files.

 Longer term we may want to move to using gitolite or Simon's stuff to
 provide a bit more control.
