Luckily enough, this is an automatism. As soon as somebody pops up and does e.g. repository maintainance, fixes branch merging etc. and volounteers to work on switching the whole FPC infrastructure to git, this will happen. Since this is a lot of really tedious work, it will be probably take another couple of decades especially as anybody really used to git can use it already flawlessly with git-svn.

For sure not my aim, actually, if I had only to review patches, I would quit to work on FPC or whatever. _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
