Yes, that's a remarkably accurate way of describing our approach to git.
I would still like to see us host the "master" read-write git repo on
code.gnucash.org, but obviously we can sync it to github. It would be
silly (IMHO) for the windows builder to pull from github when it could
pull from "local" sources.
Is you concern that people might be pulling a transitory or unstable
build or similar if they use git?
I recommend we take the same approach as the MIT Kerberos Team for
transitioning from SVN to GIT. I'm working with them to try to acquire
their transition scripts. The scripts normalize the log messages in the
transition, or so I've been told. This means, however, that the current
'github' (and any existing git repos) would become obsolete, but I don't
see that as being a problem in general.
I'm in "get the build working under Win" class rather than "is one code
source better than another at the moment"
Having said that, following the instructions given for a Win32 build I'm
going for git, not svn.
