The Git source repositories for Simgear, Flightgear, and the data repositories are now fully enabled at gitorious.org. A group of developers and modelers have been making checkins for some days now and all appears to be working. The repositories are available at: http://gitorious.org/fg.
http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/FlightGear_and_Git is filled with good information on how to get started with Git, and this will be updated over the coming days. If you are a developer or modeler and had commit access to the CVS repository, please register at gitorious.org, upload an SSH key, and send me a message, either on gitorious or to timoore33 at gmail.com. I will then add you to the "collaborators" list. The flightgear and simgear repositories are mirrors that I've maintained for about a year-and-a-half. They are not strict mirrors of the old CVS repo because the commit history was different, but the bits are all the same. These repositories contain history going back to 1997, which I believe was the start date of the project. The fgdata repository is a copy of the repository at git://mapserver.flightgear.org/fgdata, plus a couple of commits to get the data back in sync with the last known CVS state. A big thanks goes out to Martin Spott for maintaining this, and for supplying me with an up-to-date CVS checkout! One major difference between Git and CVS is that the entire history is stored locally. This isn't a big deal for the source code repos, but the history for fgdata is quite large, over 2.5Gig. If this is a problem for you, look into the git technique of making a "shalllow clone," which doesn't download the history. You won't be able to make check-ins if you do this. If you already have a local clone of the mapserver.flightgear.org fgdata repository, you can add the gitorious.org repo as a remote to it and then fetch. This will be quite fast because the vast majority of the history is shared between the two. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or drop by irc.flightgear.org.
