The process is, we vote, then get Infra to switch us. Many big and small Apache projects have switched to Git, eg. Apache Commons. On Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 4:26 AM, Patricia Shanahan wrote: > I would like to add one more condition: We should not move until the > process we will

I would like to add one more condition: We should not move until the process we will use has been applied successfully to smaller projects. I am relatively neutral on the choice of repository, and a lot of people seem to like Git. On 9/14/2017 11:16 AM, Marcus wrote: Even when I'm not a

Even when I'm not a real developer, please let me add some points: IMHO we could switch when - ASF Infra can and will support it - the CMS (it manages the webpages) is supporting Git - the big majority of us is wanting Git - it is known how and save that the SVN commit history can be migrated

Hi, FWIW we already have an official git mirror of our svn repository. Do a git clone git://git.apache.org/openoffice.git to check it out. Such a repo is currently read-only of course until the project switches officially to git. Herbert On 09/14/2017 11:10 AM, Damjan Jovanovic wrote: >

Hi - Here is a difference between Git and SVN that could be important. In GIT you check out the whole repository. In SVN you can check out parts. Another would be does SVN vs. GIT prevent new developers from volunteering? Historical note - when OpenOffice came to Apache it had just been moved

I know Git is the repository-of-the-decade, and therefore a switch to it is probably inevitable, just like the switch from RCS to SCCS and from SCCS to Subversion. Just as a matter of curiosity, which IDE's do not support Subversion? I know I was using a it with Eclipse before I heard of Git.
