I am happy to request the mirror. I was planning to wait a few days to make sure nobody has any strong objections, but don't expect any. Having a git mirror might make Pivot more accessible to developers and will hopefully make contributing patches to Pivot easier for some people. As I understand things, it should also significantly reduce the load on svn.apache.org compared with if git users attempted to get a full clone of the Pivot svn repository, and be significantly faster too. So I suppose I should formally state that I will go ahead and make the git mirror request based on lazy consensus if no objections are raised in the next 3 days. http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#LazyConsensus > I wasn't aware of git support even from GoogleCode (and git integrated in > eclipse 3.7), so maybe we could even think to drop some of our pivot-related > apache-extras svn repositories and re-create in git (but we have to verify > if this is possible) ... > What do you think ? It sounds like it is possible, but I don't know enough about the usage of apache-extras or the underlying SVN repo to suggest changing to git. http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GitFAQ I expect that it is probably best to leave as SVN for now as git has support for cloning and working with SVN repositories, but SVN doesn't have support for working with git repos. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=git+svn
