This is a formal vote on whether we should move our read/write repository from
Subversion to Git.
This means that our latest read/write repository will be no longer available
via svn.apache.org. It
will be available via Git at https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd-site.git
and https://github.com/apache/httpd.git.
Github also offers the possibility to use a Subversion client:

Now that the vote is closed in favor of moving to Git what are the next steps?
Do we need to open an INFRA ticket to get this done?
Who will open it?
Anyone on the PMC can open such a ticket, there is a canonical thread
here to prove consensus.
Is there any preferred point of time to do this?
It depends...
The read-only mirror that we currently have _can_ be repurposed as a r/w
repository, which means the cutover could be quite instant. I'd advise
that folks make the necessary checks and ensure that the git repo has
accurate history and contents (specifically the current state of
trunk/2.4/etc). When we are satisfied, we can ask Infra to switch the
mirror over to a read/write mode. Subversion history will be preserved,
and the subversion dir will be locked to read-only (assuming we don't
have other resources there we need to write to still).
The bigger task comes after that, as all the source links in docs, our
web site etc, will need to be updated, but that can happen after the fact.
