Sean, The reason whey the repository is located in a different place is historical. The host of the Linux repository did not want to host Windows back then and CTC were generous and provided us a place for Windows development. We can re-consider the decision if the host of the Linux repository have change his mind but so far things are running great.
The SNV versus git is a decision to be made by the maintainers of the code. The workgroup chairs can ask the maintainers if there is a need or a reason to change the current SVN to git or not, and this should drove the decision.

I will even go as far as to suggest switching the repository from SVN to git. This would place all of the OpenFabrics code into the same source control management tool, expose the Windows work through the git-web pages, and allow developers to manage their own source trees. And, IMO, git is easier to use when dealing with multiple development trees and branches. I can't think of any reason why the userspace apps like openSM and the diagnostics tools can't be branches in the same git repository, especially given that complib provides OS portability. But even if separate trees were maintained, migrating fixes and new features between Windows and Linux would be easier. Native git support is available on Windows, and if you use cygwin, you can pick up quilt and stgit as well. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
