Since I sometimes lurk around infra, I'd be happy to help. However, I am not
clear on what the goals are. Is this mainly about being able to commit offline?
Or is there a goal to attract new developers with a better github experience?
Since one of the limitations of git is that you cannot clone less than the
whole project, I think we should consider splitting
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne/main/trunk/docs/ into a separate repo,
with tutorials under it.
I don't agree about leaving 'archive' behind in svn, unless we are sure we
never want anyone to find or work on those resources ever again. Once the main
repo is moved, no-one is likely to work on an old archive repository.

Just found this Jira about Wicket migration to Git:

It has just enough info for us to kickstart the process I hope. So before I
open a similar Jira, I guess we need to decide 2 things:
1. who'll be our infra/git volunteers. I am ready to be one. We'll likely need
one more.
2. The breakdown of the target Git repo. We have a bunch of top level
directories under here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne/
"main", "site" and "artwork" are all active and up-to-date. So those will become
individual repos. The rest are somewhat stale, but we don't want it to disappear of course. I guess once we get access
to the Git repo and see if we can use subfolders for repos, we'll create a folder called "archive" and move
the remaining stuff under it. Or just keep it in SVN (which we'll likely keep around, just like Tapestry and Wicket
did).
Thoughts?

Tapestry did make the switch to git awhile back. Unfortunately, due to
finishing up my schooling, I have not been as actively involved the last while
as I would like. I might have the git-switch discussions saved somewhere that I
can dig through to see how to get the process rolling.

I'm not sure, but I kind of thought the Tapestry project had already
done it, so perhaps someone there could comment if they have. I've
only used Git through GitHub thus far and am still a novice, but it
does have some nice features.

I am not following infra-dev, but the question of Git came up on the incubator
list in an unrelated thread (see the link above). I'd love if we could do away
with svn and git-svn and go Git all the way. Anyone has any insight on where
Infra stands on that and how to sign up Cayenne for Git switchover?
