As Rom said, this is all work in progress. The repositories currently available are for testing purposes only! They haven't been announced so far simply because we're right in the process of ironing out the remaining issues, e.g. the (rather cosmetic) author mapping and the historic lib removal. This will be done by rewriting history (meaning changed SHA1s) which is exactly why the repos haven't yet been announced for public testing. There has already been quite some work put into the separation of the different projects into dedicated repos as well as the filtering of obsolete branches during the initial import. Yes, we missed the author mapping until over a week into the running import (my bad!) so we decided to do it afterwards (to avoid further delays) which technically isn't a problem. Even as soon as we're done from our point of view there's going to be a period where the repos enter some sort of feedback phase where they'll be announced on this list for public testing. Things can still be fixed/optimized at that point. Only after that's done the final SVN freeze can be announced, followed by the actual migration of any production services.
