AFAICT from the reactions so far, moving to git isn't worth the trouble.
It may be better than CVS, but our commit rate is so low and our demands
so simple that it probably doesn't matter which VCS we use, so let's stick
with the one we have.

Now, how are we going to organize the branches? Currently we have the trunk
and the B_Release branch. Everything is in the trunk, and in addition,
(recent) publishable versions of our docs are in B_Release as well.

If we start a single separate branch for V3, it will contain both publishable
versions and intermediate stuff. Do we want this? We can use tags to mark
finished docs of course, but - contrary to the core code - they won't be
synchronized.

We could also create a V3 working branch and a V3_Release branch. Or keep
all the intermediate stuff in the trunk and commit releasable Firebird 3
docs to a single V3(_Release) branch...

Any ideas?


Cheers,
Paul Vinkenoog
