Hi, In order to foster contribution and ease switching between branches/cherrypicking and in general to have a modern development workflow I propose to migrate Jackrabbit (Classic) from SVN to Git similarly to what was done in Oak (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9440) and Jackrabbit FileVault (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-398).
It would comprise of the following steps: 1. migrate the SVN repository at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/branches, https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags to a Git repository named “jackrabbit” (hosted at https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf) 2. migrate GitHub SVN mirror at https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit to mirror the new native Git repo (at Gitbox) 3. make the SVN repository at the folders outlined at 1. read only Vote is open for 72 hours. [ ] +1, migrate Jackrabbit to Git [ ] 0 [ ] -1, because... P.S. The migration would not include the site at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/site/.
