Can you please move it to github?
I considered that aswell recently, but I'm not yet convinced.
I see the increase in contributions to dmd after the move to github, but
my own experience with it has not been too positive: making patches for
dmd is rather time consuming, I always have to struggle to get the
simple stuff done (while it was just adding a diff to the bugzilla in
the subversion times). As a result, the number of patches that I have
provided has dropped considerably. My feeling is that git allows a lot
of complex things at the cost of making standard operations much more
complicated than necessary.
Using git/github is probably less work for you compared to svn, but this
also depends on a rather large infrastructure like the auto tester. I'm
not sure it does actually help for a project with very few contributors.
There haven't been a lot of community contributions to Visual D so far.
To everybody interested: Would a move to github change that?
