I'm not particularly interested in mandating everything in Maven to
use GIT
but I would like to pilot the use of GIT as the canonical
repository for
Maven 3.x and wanted to see what others thought.
In my limited but positive experience, I think git is great, but it's
a big change for Apache-- not at all comparable to setting up a new
issue tracker.
Jukka and others have been making steady progress integrating git into
Apache infrastructure, but Subversion remains the canonical source
code repository for the ASF.
I'm +1 on a move to git that involves the infra team, and -0 if it
means going outside of Apache infrastructure, since I'm unlikely to be
involved if it lives somewhere else, and I'd like you all to stick
around. :)
I'm not interested in moving it to something not sanctioned. But we
always have this debate about what's sanctioned. An Apache Github
account is not a profoundly radical idea. It could be sanctioned and
Apache infra could cooperate with other groups instead of trying to do
everything themselves. Trying to become experts in every tool we might
need just doesn't make sense to me. Who cares where the code is, what
matters is that it's safe, accessible, it's backed up and everyone is
in agreement about where it is. It doesn't matter whose actual metal
box it sits in.
