How about setting up some kind of git sandbox for people to play with, while SVN remains official? After a testing period (2-4 weeks?) we scrap the sandbox and migrate the latest SVN to git. When I talk about scrapping the sandbox, we would preserve any specific changes required for git, e.g. replacing svn2cl. Such changes would need to be extracted as patches and then re-applied. I must confess that my own experiments with git have been quite modest to date, but if you ignore the effort required to migrate, it seems to offer benefits from any angle you look at it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
