Things have progressed today. Thanks to TomH we now have a conversion
of svn to git, and I've written the promised introduction for p2
committers at

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2/Developer_Documentation/git

The OSMF-hosted repo is at

It's hard to strike the balance between being helpful and just giving
the world Yet Another Git Introduction, so I tried to keep it focussed
on what we're up to ourselves.

As part of the migration, we created a number of different topic
branches for the work that happened after RichardF's line-in-the-sand
commit (r25368, aka 7d4f68 now). Some very simple things were added to
the master branch with RichardF's approval, but most went into the
different topics. You can see what went where at

I've already done some more work on my clone of the git repository,
and published them on github at
https://github.com/gravitystorm/Potlatch2 . I don't see myself making
any more commits to SVN from now on, unless something unexpected
happens.

Happy to answer any questions, but remember things are neither set in
stone nor necessarily fully thought-through!

Cheers,
Andy
