In the longer term, my understanding is that the Infrastructure team is
working on ways of using Git that are compatible with ASF's IP history
requirements. They are running a small experiment with a couple of projects.
I will continue to monitor board@ in the hope of adding Git read/write
access to the River source code when feasible.

There are several key reasons for moving to git, and a read-only repository
would not support most of them:
* Git makes it significantly easier to branch and merge when compared to
SVN, CVS, etc.
* Git pull requests encapsulate an opportunity for feedback on branches and
easy diffs between branches that is unparalleled by SVN, etc.
* PRs can be contributed more easily from the broader community (but such
PRs would require Apache CLAs, etc. before they could be incorporated into
an Apache project so we might not get much utility from this).
* Git repositories can be easily forked (a read-only view would support
this), and these forks can flow updates back to the original project (this
would again run into trouble with the Apache CLA process).
Thanks,
Bryan

Currently, I believe only read-only Git mirrors are supported for most
projects. See http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html. It looks as though the
process for adding a mirror is fairly simple. Would that level of support
be useful?
There is an experiment going on to extend Git use. I suggest at least one
of you should subscribe to the infrastructure-dev@ list to follow what is
happening.

Could we consider a service registrar that doesn't require code

This is my particular itch right now. I’m happy to work on pulling
reggie out as one of the first modules.
And +1 for git.
