Stating here a few things I mentionned on IRC. I think it would be better to only do the switch after the next point release since it could happen soonish (but this is Ozkan's decision). Of course that doesn't prevent initial work on the matter. A subdirectory of an SVN repository is a valid SVN repository. This is not true with git repositories. This prevents tracking only parts of other repositories like it has been done with ReactOS. Git doesn't have SVN's externals; it has "remotes": paths to branches on other repositories. Some of the use cases are the same for both but there are large differences. IIRC git doesn't have per-file attributes like eol-style and mime type. Are they really needed? Should it be only LF for every file(*)? (*) this would break editing the files under notepad and probably only notepad, i.e. that would be a feature :) I think that's it for now. -- Adrien Nadr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
