Trever Fischer worked on the svn2git conversion rules for kdemultimedia mostly alone. Nicolas Alvarez, who helped with other repos and single-handedly converted others, didn't get as involved as he should have, because he was focusing on the migration of kdegames repositories (plus some real-life time-eaters). | |||
On March 28th, Trever [http://wm161.net/2012/03/28/kde-multimedia-moves-to-git/ announced the move], and did the final conversion and push on April 4th. The next day, several problems were found with the repositories, including files that were entirely missing (causing build failures, the stable branch (KDE/4.8) not having the needed changes to let the repos build standalone, and several history problems. | |||
Eike Hein was soon notified of the problem, and decided to lock the git repositories to prevent new commits done on them. He also [http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2012-April/005593.html sent an email to various mailing lists] to notify about the locked repositories. | |||
Since then, there has been slow but reasonably steady work to improve the conversion rules. | |||

This page describes the move of kdemultimedia from SVN to git.
Work done
Here's a list of important changes in the rules since the “bad” conversion was done.
- Reuse common code that was written for past conversions, fixing several issues.
- Export documentation in version branches.
- Ignore problematic commits such as r409205, which messed up most branches and tags.
- Export kmainwindow-decoupling work branch (rule was already there but incorrect).
- Export phonon-solid-sprint branch in libkcompactdisc.
- Export kfilemetainfo branch in strigi-analyzers.
Progress
dragonplayer, strigi-analyzers, ffmpegthumbs, mplayerthumbs are fully done, except for parentmaps, which weren't written for any repo yet.
libkcddb contains documentation taken from a different directory, its history might be incomplete. libkcompactdisc was extracted from the kscd codebase, but we're not currently exporting the history from kscd days. The rest haven't been carefully reviewed yet; in particular juk and kmix may take me a while.
