really convert your SVN to GIT with one script (tags included)

Having to convert some SVN repositories to GIT, Misha pointed me to this recipe that was quite what I needed to convert svn tags to real tags.

There was some more typing involved and I hate typing, plus I had to deal with a non standard SVN layout that by experience I think it's like a second standard. So I included all the hints found there and somewhere else in a "one click" script that tries to do everything automatically. Since it's automatic you might end up with something close but not exactly as you need, so feel free to tweak as much as you want (as I did with Frank's recipe ;) ).

You can download the script here and run it

sh convert_svn_to_git.sh -r path/to/svn/repo -a path/to/authorsfile

enjoy ;)

MiMMS: My first OSS project :D

I started to work on MiMMS, an MMS stream downloader written in python.

When I first looked at the application it looked pretty much what I needed to download Italian TV shows to my N810 and watch them while I was on the bus (trying to take advantage of dead periods). The little problem was that (as for many other mms servers) the bandwidth was limited and it was taking me an hour to download just one show.
So I registered a new branch of MiMMS that allows you to split the stream in many parts and use all your bandwidth to be quicker. It still has a lot of work to do, but it works pretty well and I hope it'll soon be packaged for Debian.

Enjoy ;)
