Executable files (svn:executable)
We convert svn:executable properties by updating the file mode directly before adding it to the Git repository.
MIME types (svn:mime-type)
GitHub internally tracks the mime-type properties of files and the commits that added them.
Ignoring unversioned items (svn:ignore)
If you've set files and directories to be ignored in Subversion, GitHub will track them internally. Files ignored by subversion clients are completely distinct from entries in a .gitignore file.
Currently unsupported properties
GitHub doesn't currently support svn:externals, svn:global-ignores, or any properties not listed above, including custom properties.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
