The svn repository is free to checkout. So, if you'll find a
reasonable combination of cmdline options (which will provide release
branches / tags only), then please let us know and we'll add the
branches/tags to the repository as well.

I am by far not a 'git' expert. (Every time I use git, I mess something
up.) I encourage people to create a 2.9 branch in git if it's possible. But
unfortunately I won't be able to do it automatically.

At some point in the past, an anti-git-svn system had been set up on
llvm.org. Has this been disabled since? I don't manage to do much with
git-svn:

$ git svn clone http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm -T trunk llvm-clone
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/llvm-clone/.git/
Using higher level of URL: http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm =>
http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project
RA layer request failed: Server sent unexpected return value (403
Forbidden) in response to REPORT request for
'/svn/llvm-project/!svn/vcc/default' at
/home/moy/local/usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 5131

(but I'm not really a git-svn expert either)

At least one person did that (partly manually):

Maybe sure. Anton said it is disabled to access upper directories with svn.
Thus, we (accessing llvm.org remotely) cannot do git-svn with branches
for homebrew.

In contrast, I suppose Anton might create branches with git-svn.
Or I guess Andreas (aka earl) might know howto.
(I guess, Andreas might manipulate lowlevel git to create a branch initially)

Andreas and Anton, could you please launch git release branches for llvm.org?

ps. afaik llvm.org/git/llvm.git is diverged to
