Converting subversion to git redux
I know I’ve written about this in the past (here and here), but I needed to do another conversion the other day that was similar, yet different. Previous posts talked about pulling parts of a subversion repository into a git repo — effectively taking one svn repo apart into multiple git repos. This time I(…)
Bye bye Google Reader
This really makes me sad: http://googlereader.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/powering-down-google-reader.html. Does anyone know of a similar service?
