As far as I’m concerned 2.4.15 was the last release. Feb 1-2 is fine with me for conversion. I *strongly* encourage anyone still using subversion to clone a git repo now. Come here for help. You don’t need to set up git svn, just get a repo cloned and start playing with making changes, creating private branches, merging with master, using git log, trying out a GUI interface, etc. so that when subversion goes away you’re not locked out while you learn to do all that stuff. Cloning URLs and basic instructions at http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git The most excellent book *Pro Git* is freely available in various electronic versions and translated into many languages (html only) at http://git-scm.com/book; the english man pages are at http://git-scm.com/docs.
