Hi, I propose migrating the uim upstream repository from Subversion to Git.
I created the following git repository in GitHub for personal use: https://github.com/mnogu/uim I'm using git-svn and this GitHub repository to develop uim and I feel more comfortable than using Subversion directly, but it is complicated to operate both the upstream repository and the GitHub repository above. So I want the upstream repository to be migrated to Git. These are the advantages of Git over Subversion. 1. offline operations Some operations, such as viewing logs and committing, are faster because we can perform these operations offline. 2. private branch We can create a private branch to commit work-in-progress or experimental codes without committing to a upstream repository. 3. non-committer Non-committers can easily modify codes and follow changes in the upstream repository. This makes it easier for non-committers to contribute uim. The more contributors, the better. We have some scripts which depends on Subversion and we have to rewrite the scripts when migrating to Git, but IMO, we will gain large benefits after migrating to Git.
