Hi all; I'm considering switching from CVS to another form of SCM. Currently, Savannah supports (in addition to CVS) GNU arch and GIT. If SVN were supported I'd probably go for that, because (a) it has great support for alternative OSs like Windows, etc.; and (b) GNU make development is currently straightforward enough that the advanced features of GIT (advanced merging and peer-to-peer development) aren't critical. However, SVN is not an option and I would like some more advanced SCM capabilities such as moving/renaming files (I've been putting off some code cleanups waiting for this).
It seems like GIT is where the mindshare is these days, plus a number of the other autotools projects have already migrated (or are in the middle of migrating) to GIT, so that's what I'd go with. As with the other projects, we'll maintain a read-only CVS mirror of the main GIT archive at least for the time being so people can use that to obtain code, the same way they do today. Still, it would be better if people had more direct access; I'd be happy to delegate support for Windows (MINGW, Cygwin, etc.) and pull those from other GIT repositories if that seems reasonable. I don't really know what the current state-of-the-art is WRT GIT on non-POSIX systems, so... please give me your opinions on this change.
