Where is the pain? What would be the benefit when moving to github? On the thread someone wanted to add something to the manual, but didn't have SVN access. The admin wasn't getting email, and thus couldn't grant the new account. The material was not added the to manual. If the manual was on github, it could have been forked, branched, content added, pull request made. End of story. So we do want the features of github.

I like git because of its features. And when I don't need those features, I prefer svn because of its simplicity. Where is the pain? The last time I tried, merging multiple version in svn is a huge pain. One of the advantages of DVCS is that branching and merging are easy. What would be the benefit when moving to github? Github seems to be the most popular DVCS hosting site at the moment. For manuals, I think that Github is particularly useful because you can click on edit and make the change. Github automatically creates a fork, a new branch, and pull request for you. So the technical barrier to participation is low. -1 (not worth the trouble for me) (On the other hand, if you sent me some bitcoins, I would be glad to copy contextman to github. ;) https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git Using this is usually as simple as svn2git http://svn.example.com/path/to/repo Aditya___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
