llvm dev - Nov 2018 - [cfe-dev] [lldb-dev] Updates on SVN to GitHub migration

Isn’t the checkout a local operation that should not involved GitHub ? Did you
mean the clone operation ?

And about sparse-checkout, I though they require a full clone of the repository
anyway. Is there a way to do a partial clone only ?

Note: If you don’t need the whole history local, you may perform a swallow clone
(using —depth 1).

I think Anton is referring to the SVN bridge -- where Git repositories
can be accessed through the Subversion API/protocol.

Correct. One important part of the migration is the ability to keep
the various CIs and other integrations intact via switching to
svn-from-git bridge:
https://help.github.com/articles/support-for-subversion-clients/

Otherwise the things might be even more complicated for downstream users.
