Hi Gary, I'm wondering if you'd like the idea that, shall we revert to and retain Xalan's source repository to SVN? GitBox is not mandatory as of now for use by Apache projects. For retaining SVN for Xalan, I guess you'd need to discard effort spent until now for trying moving Xalan to GitBox, and that may sound little annoying to you I guess.
Xerces is on SVN, and I believe Xerces is closely related to Xalan. I think, as of now Xerces has no plans (I've not seen any discussion about this on Xerces lists, other than one email from you on one of Xerces's list few weeks ago suggesting Xerces's move to GitBox) to moving to GitBox. If you're certain to move Xalan to GitBox, then its fine. I'm with you for that, and I believe that others would also have no objections. I'm also curious to know that, GitBox other than an alternative to SVN at Apache, what would be GitBox's other advantages for Xalan? I can see that, moving Xalan to GitBox would allow Xalan community to use GitHub (which is hugely popular) as well, as a source repository.
