Hi Tommaso,
In my honest opinion, it is not a matter of preferences, I believe there
are strong and objective reasons to think that git is a better resource
for version control. But, of course, I agree that each developer can be
more comfortable with different options.
Cheers,
Rafa

While I like Git and I am therefore not against such a move I think it only
makes sense if there're clear listed reasons for it, backporting things
from trunk to branch_x is not so hard even with SVN, Lucene for example
does that [1] and it's usually just a matter of running
svn merge -c $trunk.commit.revision.no
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk on the branch_x.
Let's also consider there may be a number of current users that are
confident with SVN but never tried Git.
Again I'm not against it, I like and use a lot Git, but I'd prefer deciding
on clear facts rather than just committers' preferences (mine included).
My 2 cents,
Tommaso

Hi Stanbolers,
this is not the first time I put this on the table of the community, but
the discussion never went further... But now 0.1.20 release is out, I think
is a good time to refresh it.
I'm not sure what others think, but personally I find so inconvenient that
Stanbol still uses svn as scm (in fact it's the only project where I use it
at the momemnt). Switching to a dvcs would bring many possibilities
currently we do not have, specially now that we have to keep the 0.12.x
long-term maintenance branch.
Actually the svn is already being mirrored (read-only) to git:
git://git.apache.org/stanbol.git
http://github.com/apache/stanbol
But I can check Infra to make a testing migration to a real repository.
The transition should not take so long.
What do you think? Comments are welcomed.
Cheers,
