Hmmm, you're right. There is no non-mailing notice that Rake SCM has moved to GitHub. I'll add something to the README file. Is there somewhere else where it would be good to place this notice.

I plan to keep the subversion repo in place for the moment and push major releases out to it. But the github repo will be the one with the latest stuff on it. Do you see a problem with this?

Then there is the interesting entries in CHANGES that contradict
.gitignore comments. CHANGES lists current version as pre-0.8.2, but
.gitignore lists 0.8.1.3. Are 0.8.1.x development snapshots? Or
bugfixes? Which one should be used?

All official Rake releases will have a 3-level revision tag. A 4- level revision tag indicates an intermediate release (i.e. all 0.8.1.x revision are pre 0.8.2) for either internal use or sometimes released as a beta (from http://onestepback.org/betagems).

Secondly, if you are tagging versions, could you please tag the versions
with a signed tag? Currently there are no tags which makes GIT less
reliable.

I've not made any official releases off the git repository yet, but when I do I will tag it. I generally don't tag intermediate releases (didn't in the subversion repo either). Is this something to reconsider?

Re: signed tags ... never done one, let me look into it.
