Final Perl history conversion coming soon!

[ #35025 ]

Well, some time has passed, and I am getting very close to making a release of the Perl 5 project history, converted to git.

I would have written this article about it on this site, but I wanted to include the gitk screenshots :-). If you're interested on how the Perforce to Git conversion happened, then read this article!

I remember talking with you last year at OSDC thinking "this guy is crazy". Glad to see you've had the year-long stamina to make it work.

With this working, and with git win32 looking MUCH more sane, I'd say there's very little standing in the way of the conversion now.
