Thanks to Duncan, Lionel and Henrik for their quick replies. I
have further questions:
1. Will GitHub automatically transfer the commits I made
to R-Forge in the past couple of days? R-Forge is now at Rev. 420, and
GitHub is still at 418. Will 419 and 420 be automatically mirrored onto
"https://github.com/rforge/ecdat"; sometime in the next 24 hours or so?
Is there something easy I can do to force that update?
2. Is there a way to make this GitHub version the master?
It currently says it is a 'Read-only mirror of "ecdat" from r-forge
SVN.' I can probably change "r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ecdat" so
I'm the only one authorized to make changes there and then stop
committing changes there. However, before I do that, I'd want to make
sure I can commit directly to the GitHub version, etc.
3. How can I make myself the owner and a contributor for
the GitHub version? I'm a "Project Admin" on the R-Forge version, but
currently no one can make any changes to the GitHub version except via
R-Forge. There must be a recommended migration process.
I could create a separate version of this package on GitHub, but
all the history would be lost.
Thanks again,
Spencer Graves

R-Forge is mirrored on Github; see https://github.com/rforge/ecdat, for
example. That shows 418 commits in its history; presumably that's the full
R-forge history. I think that's newer than Michael Friendly's gist.
So I suspect (but haven't tried to do this) that migration now is as simple as
doing a Github fork to your own Github account, and then basically forgetting
about the R-forge stuff, or deleting it (and I don't know how to do that).
I think it's better to avoid the Fork button in this case, because forks are
treated specially in the Github UI. In this case you'll want your repo to
appear as a main repo, and not a fork. AFAIK the only way to unfork a repo
is to ask the Github staff to do it.
So instead of forking, use the "+" button on github.com and select
"Import a repository". This supports both git and svn repos.
Best,
Lionel
