Jacopo,

This vote was about IF we choose to go to Git, if the answer is yes, sure then we need an implementation plan.

It is no use, setting up an implementation plan when there is still a possibility people will reject it.

Regards,
Hans

PS. We really have to change the way we work here, I admire Adam, spending so much time on maven when people can still reject it.

not because I don't like Git or because I don't think it wouldn't be a good fit 
for OFBiz; the reason for my negative vote is that in the vote there is no 
mention to the workflow the project will adopt; at the ASF there are some 
limitations due to Infrastructure and/or license/legal reasons and not all the 
way Git could be used are allowed (for example I don't think we will be allowed 
to accept Pull Requests from GitHub).

There are several ASF projects that have switched to Git 
(https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf ) but the workflows they have adopted 
are different from the ones implied by some of the comments in this mailing 
list; see for example:
http://karaf.apache.org/index/community/contributing.html (this is very similar 
to our current svn-based workflow)
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/GitAndHadoop (patch based contributions)

I have mentioned a few times that until someone will take time to review what 
others do and what can be done @ASF with Git and come up with a proposal for 
OFBiz, my vote will be negative because it doesn't make any sense to vote for a 
tool or the other.

The question : should we convert the master SVN repository of Apache OFBIz to a 
GIT version?

As discussed at apachecon in Austin, i propose to switch from svn to git for 
the ofbiz repository. The main reason being that all major contributors are 
using git and contributions are cumbersome, further, git allows for better 
branching and merging.

Hans
