well we're just making this up so far since AFAIK no contributor has expressed any concern over this yet :) So let's wait for someone to raise an issue maybe? IMO contributors would definitely express issues over using Git since 99% of them are probably using svn and not git so this far down in the list of issues contributors would have IMO ;) Thanks -Vincent > Denis > > > Thanks > -Vincent > > > Denis > > > > > >> And most of it comes from the very early history when we had all the > >> libs in the svn. > >> > >> So, we could decide to drop the history before the introduction of > >> maven, or we could move the core in its own repository and push for a > >> faster migration to components. > >> > >> Or we can just learn to live with it, we have a long history and we're > >> proud of it. > >> > >>> -Fabio > >>> > >>>> Pros > >>>> ==== > >>>> > >>>> * Much simpler release process > >>>> * Much simpler JIRA organization (1 project instead of 50 or so) > >>>> * Much simpler for the user: simpler to log a new issue in jira + > >> they'll know what version of a module they're using vs having to guess that > >> XE 3.0 uses the Lucene plugin v 1.45) and for contributors > >>>> > >>>> Directory org > >>>> ========== > >>>> > >>>> platform/ > >>>> |_ modules/ > >>>> |_ xwiki-platform-search/ > >>>> |_ xwiki-platform-search-lucene/ > >>>> |_ xwiki-platform-search-application/ > >>>> |_ xwiki-platform-url/ > >>>> |_ xwiki-platform-skin-colibri/ > >>>> |_ xwiki-platform-wysiwyg/ > >>>> |_ ... > >>>> |_ tools/ > >>>> |_ distribution/ > >>>> > >>>> Details: > >>>> > >>>> * Modules contains a flat list of directories, each directory > >> representing a "feature".
