What timeframe would you suggest? The idea is those of us - myself among them - with limited git experience will have to learn. I don't think there is a reasonable way to have both svn and git working, so whatever timeframe we choose, we need to decide to JFDI at some point. Whenever we decide we are ready to fire the INFRA JIRA, the new git repo will get set up and the existing svn repo will become RO. The "migration" is just copying stuff and repointing git mirrors. There are lots of git tutorials available and I am sure the experienced git users in the [math] community will help others along. I am certainly counting on that ;) The same thing happened, btw, way back when we migrated from cvs to svn. And we had about the same level of immediately available expertise on "the new thing." I am fine delaying if you or anyone else needs more time to learn git. On the other hand, there is no better way to learn a new tool than to start using it and just like we do with the code itself, I am confident that we can count on our friends to point out and fix the little mistakes we make as we learn.
