It's a read only mirror, the read/write mirror is on bkbits.net. But we'll maintain the mirror (or you can, bk has fast-export which creates a perfect mirror in git).



Would you describe the exporting process to git, pretty painless? If so, I'll look at adding bitkeeper support for my git analytics/search tool. I've uploaded some pictures that shows what the git repos that you have hosted on GitHub looks like at:

Since the export process adds "bk: <changeset>" to the commit comment, it'll be easy to tell that it was created via your fast-export tool, which means my tool can easily point you back to the bitkeeper web interface.


Is there a way to do the reverse, and convert a Git repository into a BitKeeper repository? I found the fast-export manual page:

https://www.bitkeeper.org/man/fast-export.html

But it doesn't look like there's any fast-import. Do you have some recommended way if I wanted to convert an existing repository to try BitKeeper out?


By "fast-export", you mean Packard's "fast-import" format, editable with ESR's RepoSurgeon?
