Well that did not change. I still run a lot of CVS repositories and would not convert them. I still see no sense in converting a SVN repository and currently I would still use SVN and not git as choice for new repositories.

Actually it would make a lot of work and even a lot of features seem to be missing. F.e. Trac integration seems to be very bad, which is a mjor drawback for josm.

And BTW - You underestimate the work regarding a repository switch. You would need to change the whole server backend including the webserver configuration, the trac scripts as well as cron-jobs to work with new system. As always there is a lot of stuff under the hood.

It is working fine now, so I see no need to change anything. Maybe I'm to old to experiment anymore, but for me stability is more important than beeing on the edge of development. I can't remember any reason to switch except 'I like it'.
