How is it faster? It takes me 25 seconds to pull down a fresh svn checkout. it takes like 30 minutes to run the tests before actually committing. So, i dont think we should use git for so called "speed" that doesnt matter (please, instead of arguing for git, spend time fixing the solr distributed tests to not take ages and ages), or for distributed features that dont matter (apache has a centralized repository). Given that its distinct from the contributor experience and would only impact committers, i currently see *zero* advantages for switching to git, only a hell of a lot of disadvantages. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
