Yeah, this is a continuation of the earlier thread. I just wanted to give people a heads-up because, as I understand it, it's just a matter of days now;
The quote is from here (under "How long will the data remain available?"). Just below that you can read this;
It's almost funny how they encourage people in every possible way to move their projects to GitHub or SourceForge. It's obvious that they don't want people to have control over the(ir own) code because they don't tell you how to download the repositories off of their servers. Maybe it's an extremely complicated and laborious process and the write-up alone would make some guy at Google burst into tears? I'll let you decide;
(This is assuming you're using TortoiseSVN under Windows - I'm sure the experience will be equally harrowing with other clients / operating systems.)
1. Make sure you have the TortoiseSVN command line tools installed - rerun the Windows installer package if not.
2. Now run "svnrdump dump https://myfavoriteproject.googlecode.com/svn > source-repo.dump"
That's it! You now have the entire repository for myfavoriteproject in source-repo.dump. Of course it's not really useful in this form as you probably did this to set up a new repository elsewhere. Here's how you do it on a local drive;
(In the directory where you want all your repositories to exist
svnadmin create MyFavoriteProject
svnadmin load MyFavoriteProject < source-repo.dump
You now have a local repository and you can do checkouts with the URL to the repository being "file:///C:/MySVNRepos/MyFavoriteProject"
I hope this is useful info for someone!
Oh Really?Until January 2016 the Google Code Project Hosting service as it exists today will continue to be available. And you will still be able to use version control clients like git, hg, or svn to access project data.
After January 2016 you will no longer be able to access source code from a version control client; however project data will still be available from the Google Code Archive.

This is not only wrong but also deceiving as it might lead you to believe that the repositories will be available for download in some archive file. But since they aren't already, there's no reason to think they will be after January. And currently, the only way to download a repository is to use a version control client. In just a few days, that option is no longer available and the repositories will be lost forever.Note that only public data will be archived. If your project has private data, such as issues with the Restrict-View-* label, you will no longer be able to browse those project resources next year. (Public downloads, issues, wikis, etc. will be available.)
