[llvm-dev] [Openmp-dev] Updates on SVN to GitHub migration

[David Greene via llvm-dev]

I had a short side-conversation at one of the roundtables about existing
users of the subproject repositories.  It would be helpful to have
instructions about the best way to move local branches in those
repositories to the monorepo and some scripts to help with the
transition.  I know someone posted an example project a while ago with
some scripts but my sense is that those scripts were particular to that
project and maybe not generally applicable.

Once the monorepo goes live (tomorrow?), what happens to the existing
subproject mirrors?  Do they get wiped away and replaced with history
from the monorepo?  Or are entirely new mirrors created?  Or do they
just continue to mirror SVN until SVN becomes read-only?

The first option would essentially be a rewrite of history for the
subproject repositories.  We'll need to know if/when that is going to
happen.

                          -David
