I have a question with respect to the use of git, and I'm sorry if
this is naive, but I'm already too used to jira+svn procedure. If we
remain on git, do we still produce diff patches and upload them to the
corresponding jiras? I'm basically wondering if we still follow the
typical jira workflow and keep the patch in the jira.

# Proposal to Add S4 to Git Testing
* Project is already in Git: the S4 project recently joined the Apache
Incubator and is currently hosted in Github.
* Avoid losing history: We have tried unsuccessfully to preserve the
project history before migrating the Git repository to SVN. As a
result, we
decided to proceed without preserving history.
* Git vs. SVN: We have had experience working with both SVN and Git
and the
consensus is that we all prefer to continue working with Git.
Switching to
SVN is acceptable and we knew this when we joined but it will take
some
time to change processes and we'd rather use our time writing code
if we
have that option.
* Standardization: We believe that Git will become a standard in
most open
source projects and Apache is already testing the use of Git. As a
result
we think that a switch to Git in the future is very likely. Would be
better
to avoid the Git -> SVN -> Git transitions.
* No big deal: if for some reason, Apache decides not to support Git
after
the test is complete, we will switch to SVN at that time. As part of
an
organization, we understand that common solutions across projects are
required.
* Timing: we are about to do the Git -> SVN transition so timing
could not
be better for this projet.
Thanks!
