Did you check https://github.com/countingpine/bochs-svn? The latest git
commit
<https://github.com/countingpine/bochs-svn/commit/d320dadcc9c40282ad282fa6c=
64ccbfef048d952>
(shown below) matches what I saw from the SVN repo. They also seem to get
the author info and commit message correct (with an additional pointer to
the SVN commit). Is there any issue you saw from the repo? If not, we can
just clone and re-upload the repo to a more official account of Bochs on
Github.
