[Nix-dev] Git conversion of NixOS and Nixpkgs

[Michael Raskin]

>Hi all,

>  https://github.com/edolstra/nixpkgs
>
>These should have the complete history from the Subversion repository, including

>Please let me know if you see anything wrong with these repositories (e.g.
>missing history).  If there are no problems, I'll move them to the NixOS
>organisation on GitHub soon.  (Until then the SVN repository is still the One
>True Repository, so please continue to commit there.)

Random checks turn out OK.

BTW, SVN branch names are stored just as parts of commit messages?
