Nice work on handling all this - seems like an epic task!

Thinking in terms of people who use stable branches from svn, how is this going 
to change in future? I see that the svn 0.6.6-post-fixes branch still exists, 
but where would I go if there was an important fix, change or update to that 
codebase? Is that going to be maintained until the next stable tag - and what 
is a stable tag under this system?

Subject: [Opensim-dev] Main Repository now in Git

We've now transitioned the main active source repository to git, all the 
documentation is not yet updated, but there is a basic document on using git at 
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Using_Git.  Over the next week the rest of the 
wiki should be cleaned up to match that.

In order to provide minimal impact on our user base there is now a new 
subversion mirror of the git working repository.  That can be checked out with: 
svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim-track/trunk.  It is a changeset by 
changeset tracking repo on unstable upstream git for opensim (it may be delayed 
by up to 15 minutes, but will contain all the same content).  It starts 
mirroring at version 10001.

The existing http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim svn will no longer be getting 
any commits.  If you would like to continue using svn for anonymous checkout of 
trunk, please switch to the opensim-track repository.

Users are encouraged to explore using git.  One of the reasons for the switch 
is that it makes it easier for our non core contributors to contribute more 
complex code, as everyone gets to use an equivalent toolchain, core or not.

There will probably be a few more bumps along the road, but the transition 
today went relatively smoothly.  Questions are always welcomed as we come 
through the transition.

        -Sean

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors than 
zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
