<p>I have found looking at commit comments (especially my own) to be
rather worthless after a year or so. One rarely details what one
did in any level that would allow an archaeologist to do anything
useful.</p>
<p>As for the older tags, I have many of them checked out on disk
somewhere...still. Yes, I'm a pack rat. So if anyone REALLY
wants them after the magic date I can probably make a set of
tarballs from what I have.</p>

<div>Hi difx-users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since we migrated to git some time ago, CSIRO wants to take
the DiFX SVN repo offline. They propose that the repo would be
disabled, ie moved out of the way so it can't be seen from the
web. It will be otherwise intact, just not visible. The
proposed change date is Wed 8 April 2026, so quite soon
actually. (I just heard about this today).</div>

<div>As far as I remember/understand the state of play, the SVN
version history for every file currently in git is available
from the DiFX git repo, but we don't have all the original
tags (DiFX-2.1, DiFX-2.2, etc etc) available as git tags. So I
think the loss of SVN would inconvenience anyone that wanted
to get an older version. We could probably mitigate that by
getting tarballs of all the older versions and sticking them
somewhere. But do other people have thoughts as to whether
access to the old svn archive would be problematic enough to
push back on, rather than work around?</div>
