As some of you might know, the OOo engineering steering committee (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ESC_minutes#SCM_review) decided that OOo will migrate to Subversion first but to reevaluate the big three DSCM systems (Bazaar, Mercurial and Git) within a year to account for new developments.
well, when reading this I've mixed feelings. While branching with Subversion might be a lot easier compared to CVS, it still requires server access which free developers might not have. OTOH Subversion supports checking out partial trees.
I think there are conversion tools from Subversion to Git, Mercurial and Bazaar that allow to keep a DSCM repo in sync with a Subversion master repository at least one-way.
I don't know how expensive this would be, but would it be possible to maintain a Git clone as a mirror that is synced with the Subversion repo on at least daily basis?
This would at least allow people to get the best of both worlds. Changes would of course have to be committed to Subversion.

Are you really going to migrate all old CWS that ever existed in CVS or are you skipping stuff that has been migrated to real versions?
Will the subversion repo cover just OOo 3.x or older versions as well? Regards Guido --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
