Hello Clément, Sorry I haven't looked in detail yet, hope soon. Thanks for sending the tips of what you did. I want to try again to get the names right and maybe some other minor surgery (looking at reposurgeon for that but haven't tried it yet).
I think your suggestion for Trac is sensible. We might leave it up but make it read only, perhaps. I've made a team for PG developers on GitHub, Clément you are invited, anyone else please let me know your GitHub username. - David On 26/04/2015 02:01, Clément Pit--Claudel wrote: > Hi David & list, > > David: Have you had time to look at my attempt to migrate to git?
