Not really, but I can give a quick update.

Over 10K repos have been converted, but I do have to run a script over
those repos and make sure the conversion actually "succeeded".  We've
also gotten dist-f14, dist-f13, dist-f12, and el6 in a state that we can
build with, however we do have to do some bootstrapping of el4/5.  I
have yet to look at OLPC-2/3.

We have run into some trouble with the kernel repo so I'm attempting
some different conversion options, with a final fallback position of
creating empty git repos and importing the last built srpms for each branch.

We've also identified some issues with gitweb that we are working on,
however this is not critical functionality and can be set aside until
after the outage.

Today's work will consist of getting el4/5 buildable, getting updates
pushed with a good production build of fedpkg, mass branching git and
turning on the buildsystem again.
