the idea was to minimize the transition period: right now, if you move to git then anyone who wants to contribute to it has to know git, and the techbase documentation isn't where I'd like it to be at. main modules of KDE *will* stay in svn until we can provide a smooth transition for them. projects that are on the fringe... well, in the end we can't force you to stay, but please *please* consider all the consequences of a premature move to git. important technical consequences: -you won't have a log of who pushed what until whenever that TODO item gets done. sure, this isn't *likely* to be important... but you're not likely to need your backups, either, are you? :) -you won't be part of commit-filter, you won't be able to use BUG: or CCMAIL: or any of those hooks until they're done. -if you've got a docbook folder, remember to separate it out and leave it somewhere in svn for the translators. there are also social consequences - I think it'll create more pressure to move to git before it's ready, and there'll be less pressure to actually resolve that todolist. it also feels less "KDE" right now - we don't have a kde page on gitorious or anything... or am I putting the cart before the horse on that one? :) so... if you think the move is worth it in spite of that, I won't try to stop you. however, I really think it would be better for all of us if you put pressure on (or volunteered to help with) fixing the technical issues *first*. all I ask is that you consider all the consequences before making a decision. -- This message brought to you by eevil bananas and the number 3. www.chani3.com
