New Post: Proposal: Switching to GIT?

I tried the tools git-svn and svn2git, but both failed to transform the repo.
Apperantly cause codeplex is not using a 100% standard svn.

I'm willing to bet it has to do with TeamFoundation being the repository used by CodePlex (Microsoft) here. I have to use VisualSVN in Visual Studio to use SVN, and I can't imagine Microsoft, which sells TF through upgrades to VS, is too keen on making their product work on less expensive alternatives. Which is an odd thing, especially if you see this, which reads:

You can use Visual Studio and Git to collaborate with your team using Team Foundation Server (on-premises or in the cloud), on CodePlex, or on a third-party service such as GitHub or Bitbucket.

Moving to a more functional GIT-based repository is a great idea, and there are lots of places to do so.
