I agree. I sent a prior email to Kurtis only, which was not intended to be
private. That was accidental and I apologize for any misunderstanding.

A second svn OpenBTS repository is a horrible idea.

When I previously mentioned a second svn repo, I was speaking generally
about svn as a centralized system. With Git, it is common and encouraged
behaviour to create multiple repositories and merge between them. Svn
doesn't encourage or allow for that type of behaviour (eg. server
migration). My point was simply that git-svn doesn't change that fact.

That said, there is some divergence between the P2.8 Transceiver52M and the
previous public git version. Nothing major, but enough to cause merge
annoyances. So I did create a temporary, private svn repo for the purpose is
testing git-svn merges and potential conflicts.
