>From a release management point of view, I think moving before feature freeze or right thereafter to Git would make most sense. This has the following important advantages: - release branch settles down, less forward/backporting traffic - we have a bunch of test releases to test releasing out of Git instead of SVN, - the migration is the least likely to delay a major release If we can move the main modules by mid-November, I think that would be really nice. We'll likely end up with doing a "hybrid release" then (i.e. not *everything* has moved by that point (lack of migration rules), if I understand the migration process well enough. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Kde-scm-interest mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-scm-interest
