Matt, Jesse, I think that both of you are basically saying that accepting pull requests entered in github is going to be more manual work, including more command line work, in the case of a migration to git-wip-us.apache.org as opposed to migrating to use only github.
I don’t know whether an option of using only github and not the ASF hosted git is acceptable for the ASF ? for the Ant committers ? Personally I am already glad to have seen support to migrate to git, and I would not want to push something more controversial. While github today is a very attractive platform, it could one day diverge from ASF policies or make other changes in their terms and conditions that we would dislike and not be able to influence. There is a file https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/docs/github_team.txt which links the apache user ids of committers with their github ids, I wonder whether this linkage gives write access to the github mirrors of Apache projects ? Also, while researching this I found an interesting presentation by Jukka Zitting [1] and a mail message concerning Apache and Github [2] and also a wiki page from the Apache Cordova project [3] Best regards, Antoine [1] http://www.slideshare.net/jukka/apache-development-with-github-and-travis-ci [2] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/201401.mbox/%3c596fff55-6e33-4451-93d4-75add6cad...@gmail.com%3E [3] http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/GitWorkflow On May 6, 2014, at 6:33 PM, Matt Sicker <boa...@gmail.com> wrote: > I mean how do you accept pull requests?
