Chris diBona says Google *will* be keeping a public copy of all unmigrated repos...

That's good to hear, although I'm not sure based on the comment whether:

(a) a project's issues and wiki will be preserved in some form, in addition to the repo(s) themselves;

(b) code.google.com links will be redirected to this googlesource archive (for projects which have not opted in to the custom redirect thing).

If the answer is yes on both, then I'm a happy camper.

So for (a), we're going to build tarballs that include the issues, and wikis are already just in a repository.

For (b), that's not a bad idea, but I don't know if we'd talked about that. I'll poke it in our bug tracker. Thanks!

Can that be relied upon as an official Google statement?

Chris DiBona is Google's Director of Open Source and the author of the blog post announcing the deprecation, so I'd say yes. But he's "planning", not guaranteeing it.
