OK, it's live! https://github.com/django/django A few quick points (though this definitely deserves a more in-depth writeup): * I renamed the old (mirror) repository to https://github.com/django/django-old. We had talked about deleting it outright to avoid confusion, but I realized at the last minute that doing so would have deleted all the pull requests. I didn't want to throw all of that out, and I think we can figure out a way to use those pull requests in the new repository. * I only migrated trunk (now called "master"), rather than including all of the branches. This was the result of a bunch of discussion on IRC with Brian R., et al. The thinking is that it kept the migration a lot cleaner/simpler, and we can always add branches later. Of course, we'll need to create the latest release branches. Otherwise, we can consider the SVN branches on an individual basis. * As expected, all forks of the old repository are now broken. Can somebody volunteer to write some documentation on how to upgrade your old fork to use the new upstream repo (rebase? simple patch?)? * We're going to keep the Subversion repository around indefinitely, but it'll no longer be updated. * We're going to keep using Trac for tickets, but pull requests on GitHub are also welcome. * Clearly there are lots of bits of process that need to be updated now, from the django-updates mailing list to our "contributing" documentation, etc. We'll take care of all of that in the coming days, and we should all expect some degree of confusion and unsettlement in the community. That's totally fine, and we'll get through it. :-) * Finally, big thanks to the folks on IRC today who helped me through the process and contributed good ideas. I'm planning to write up a blog post on how the process went, for the benefit of the five open-source projects still using Subversion.
