subversion migration is an easy task... take a look at "git-svn"
Windows support not easy task as I understand, but it can be done. Can be included binaries instead of full source code compilation and used several other workarounds... I mention that experimental support of Windows will be sufficient. In any case compilation of sources are done on ARM processor that not native for windows and linux as well... issue with "case sensitive" file system that was mention above can be solved by small "move into folder" workarounds and changes in Make files. Please understand that you force Windows developer completely change environment. Not many developers will be ready to do that. On May 5, 6:00 pm, Sean Hodges <[email protected]> wrote: > Subversion?
