+1

Though I'm not a committer, I find github much easier to 'use' as a 'client' than sourceforge.

Hi all,

Over the past few weeks, several of us have been looking into a
potential move of the core Fedora Repository code to GitHub.  During
today's developer call, we decided the investigation had progressed
along far enough that we should call a vote.  Please feel free to
chime in even if you aren't a committer, especially if you have
first-hand experience with git or another DVCS.

Proposal: Migrate the existing subversion repository, hosted at
sourceforge.net, to git, hosted at github.com.

Primary motivations:
1) Ease of contributing for non-committers (the fork + pull model).
2) Speed (everyone has a copy of the repo and most operations --
branching, merging, examining history -- are done locally)

Why git and not some other DVCS like Mercurial?  The technical
differences between hg and git don't seem significant enough to
debate.  One big difference we've noted is that github seems to have
quite a bit more community around it than the other DVCS hosting
options.

Tool support for git is pretty good these days, too:

Git plugins exist for IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse.
Mature git commandline tools exist for linux, mac, and windows.
We have also successfully integrated:
a) a plugin for JIRA which provides links to github-hosted commit info
that relates to a particular issue.
b) a plugin for Bamboo (our CI server) which polls a github-hosted repository.

Voting Period: Two weeks (Ending December 7th)

Requirement to pass: Majority (more +1 than -1 votes among committers)

I'll register the first vote: +1

- Chris
