This was exactly what I was thinking but I thought I might be missing something why this is being done. Here are my thoughts: (1) From recent discussion, it seems that 2.0 is a completely new beast so why branching will help. Why not a completely new project? What are we going to gain from branching existing code base? (2) I would recommend "release early release often" strategy. Get 2.0 stable out of door as soon as it is minimally usable; for example when basic framework is ready and users can create chart and add GL transactions (even without AR/AP transactions and related reports etc.) (3) I am not sure what are the reservations with git but it will really help all of us. When git was getting popular I was using SVN for my own projects and was really satisfied. When everyone started moving to git from svn, I tried it reluctantly and then just discovered what I was missing. Now I think svn as a stone age tool. (4) I also like github with its simpler and clean interface but hosting git repository yourself is also not too much effort.
