# What is this?

This is a work-in-progress conversion of https://josm.openstreetmap.de/osmsvn/ from svn to git.

GitHub is [ending support](https://github.blog/2023-01-20-sunsetting-subversion-support/)

for their SVN endpoints in January 2024. As such [JOSM](https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/23286)

is looking at moving the plugin repository from SVN to git.

# Goals

* Idiomatic conversion from SVN to git

* Third-party patches should be properly attributed by the git author property

* Properly attribute commits (svn username -> name )

# Non-goals

* Repository size -- this can be done before the "final" conversion

  * This WIP conversion _is_ using `git lfs` for most `.jar` files (7.8 GB)

  * .po files are ~4.8 GB. These are binary files and might be better in `git lfs`.

* Splitting plugins into separate repositories -- this can also be done before the "final" conversion

  * This can be done with [git subtree split](https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.txt)

# What can you do to help?

If you are a current or former contributor to JOSM or JOSM plugins (in SVN), please send

me ([Taylor Smock](mailto:[email protected])) an email with the following information:

* The name you want us to use for git attribution

* The email you want us to use for git attribution -- this will be **public** via the git commit log!

  * [GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address)

    has a `noreply` email address, usually formatted as `[email protected]`

    for accounts created after 2017-07-18 or `[email protected]` for accounts

    created prior to 2017-07-18.

    Look at [Github Email Preferences](https://github.com/settings/emails) (under `Keep my email addresses private`).

  * [GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/index.html#use-an-automatically-generated-private-commit-email)

    has a `noreply` email address, usually formatted as `[email protected]`.

    Look at `Commit email` on your GitLab profile page.
