Working with branches in SVN is horrible, only worse in p4 which is saying a lot. The ability to easily create branches, squash commits, incrementally improve them without fear. I constantly rebase against master and it's really easy with all the great tools like GitX, GitTower, or SourceTree to easily see changes. The Eclipse support for Git is a million times better, and doing anything Git related with JGit in Java is always a pleasure (because the #2 CGit guy, wrote JGit) As far as potential contribution if you look at Apache projects at Github there are varying numbers of forks and pull requests but for some of them it's pretty significant. But for me it's a primarily a personal workflow issue. > So I'm -0 on such a change for parts where I feel it would be feasible > > Regards, > > Hervé > > [1] > https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/Maven/job/dist-tool-plugin/site/dist-tool-check-source-release.html > > Le mercredi 12 février 2014 22:37:36 Jason van Zyl a écrit : >> Can we start the process of converting everything to Git.
