It isn't really of value to anyone; I was mainly making sure that git was a viable option. > I think what would be very useful is some plan/strategy to move > forward.

Probably. The real issue is that some of the larger architectural changes which are possible in git are not possible in CVS... but I suppose we could have a limited period of caryover once we decided to do the transition. I think what is missing at this moment in time is a decision that git is what we are actually going to migrate to... and then we can probably come up with a transition plan and a set of tasks that need to be completed. I don't even know how we'd go about making this decision. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com In all matters of government, the correct answer is usually: "Do nothing" -- Robert Heinlein _Time Enough For Love_ p428 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
