One concern would be on the IP perspective. Before we can have a release or graduate from Podling, we need to review our source code and remove all incompatible 3rd party components. We're also working to ensure that the Oracle SGA is updated to contain all the files we need for AOOo. If we have two repositories, a "clean" one in SVN and an "unreviewed" version in git that we occasionally dip into for unintegrated branches, then IP compliance becomes more difficult. Maybe not impossible, but certainly more complicated.
With the help from Michael Stahl I created a list of all new files that are in all cws repositories, but not in the OOO340 trunk and forwarded it to Andrew Rist.
I also had a look on the files and for me it seems that they are less problematic from an IP perspective than many files we already have in the trunk repo.
So from a technical perspective the cws shouldn't be a problem. OTOH I'm afraid that postponing to move the sources into the svn repo might create troubles for those with a legal POV.
