To support Darren's conversion work, here are the links to some numpy discussions which might be, I think, of interest here: [Numpy-discussion] curious about how people would feel about moving to github: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/38133 [Numpy-discussion] Technicalities of the SVN -> GIT transition: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/38263 [Numpy-discussion] First shot at svn->git conversion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/39443 [Numpy-discussion] update on the transition to git/github: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/39102 [Numpy-discussion] Github migration?: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/40020 [Numpy-discussion] Can we freeze the subversion repository and move to github this week?: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2010-September/thread.html#52744 (this thread is apparently lost on gmane) [Numpy-discussion] Numpy SVN frozen; move to Git: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2010-September/thread.html#52811 (lost on Gmane too) [Numpy-discussion] Commit rights on github: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/40812 [Numpy-discussion] Development workflow: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/40816 [Numpy-discussion] Another merge at github: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/40967 [Numpy-discussion] whitespace in git repo: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/41013 Okay, I think that's it. I remember there were some problems getting the complete svn history correctly transferred (it should be in above), but I cannot tell specifics; we would have to ask on the numpy list for this. Also, there was lots of discussion how to design the commit rights (somewhere included above); since on github "pull requests" can be filed, getting changes in with a committer different from the author is simple. Cf. http://github.com/numpy/ (list of members of the github organization). It is possible to register "organization" accounts on GitHub, with several members.
