Do we need a vote?
_If_ we decide to move to Git ( including how and when ) we can perform some dry-runs which create git repos out of Maven modules and push them to a unofficial account on github. I suggest we involve infra only when we know exactly what we want to do. As for an the duration of the conversion, here's what I did for the jackrabbit-server bundle: $ git clone https://github.com/apache/sling.git sling-import $ cd sling-import $ git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter bundles/jcr/jackrabbit-server Rewrite eb7e75b8f92ce96f1a4f804676b90fc08a377834 (115/143) (1 seconds passed, remaining 0 predicted) Ref 'refs/heads/trunk' was rewritten Clock time was about 3 seconds for the git filter-branch call. Do you have some references about migrating to git at Apache? The durations mentioned in the article seem like _a lot_. Thanks, Robert > > O. > > > > > -Bertrand
