OK, in order to have something concrete to consider, I've converted a bit of history to git and Mercurial.
Rosegarden's history is pretty gnarly and includes a lot of dead-end branches and relatively few sensible tags, so rather than get into knots trying to convert everything I converted only the trunk, and only back to the point where the Qt4 build was pulled across to trunk. That's still 2000-odd revisions. I've mapped the usernames as well as I could (let me know if you see any mistakes there). I used hg convert to convert to Mercurial, and ended up using hg-fast-export to get the data from hg to git. Here it is in git: https://github.com/cannam/rosegarden And here in Mercurial: https://bitbucket.org/cannam/rosegarden Presumably there would want to be an official rosegarden-release repo to do builds from -- I'm just proposing one of these as a possible starting point to clone from. So, what do you think? Developers please please pick one of the following -- [ ] I like the git one [ ] I like the hg one [ ] either is fine with me (e.g. I'm happy with both tools, or I'd clone to the other one anyway) [ ] I'd like to use a dvcs, but I'd suggest a different repo to start from (e.g. one I already have locally) [ ] I don't think we should switch from svn and of course [ ] Gah!
