A question that has been re-raised with me today... should we be looking to
transition the current exim VCS from CVS to git?
Personally I would have a degree of preference for this, as exim is the only
project I now have contact with that uses CVS (a couple I have links with use
svn/svk but I think they are likely to go git as they are perl and the perl
core is now all git; all others are now git based including all of my
personal/work stuff).
If we did convert we would be able to keep a git-cvspserver running for legacy
access (although that would require a reconfig from those using it).
We would have to convert the cvs commit hooks to git hooks (some of these, such
as the bugzilla integration, would fire on push operations to the master
repository rather than on commit - this might be a good thing as it allows the
revision of commits prior to push). The $Cambridge$ tags would also need to be
stripped.
Any strong opinions for/against.
Obviously it needs work to be done... always a bad thing :-(
Nigel.
