Hi.

Moving to Git seemed to have lots of traction at the summit, and I'll add my voice that this sounds like a step in the right direction for
OpenWrt.  I'm assuming that we would want to do a proper SVN to Git
conversion, and Eric's help on this would be great, I think.  My
discussion with Eric is over on Google+ and marked public:

Why does the core system need to migrate from svn to git?


I thought everybody is using git anyway already. Are there people
still using svn?

doing something because everybody is doing so is not the best argument IMHO.

I would say that using git would improve quite a few things:

* it would be easier to send upstream patches
* having a good git web interface like gitlab or github would allow newcomers to participate more easily * it would make life easier to the core contributors that prefer to work with git because git allows a very powerful development workflow compared to SVN
