Amusingly enough, this may be a moot discussion anyway, because I tried the SVN features on github per their directions, and they didn't seem to work: - % svn co --depth empty https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-svn-mirror Checked out revision 17370. % cd ompi-svn-mirror/ % svn up trunk [hang fo

We keep having this discussion, and every time the answer is "no - stick with what we currently do". Can we please stop having it over and over again? Until someone can point out a problem that (a) needs solving and (b) can only be solved by making a huge change to a DVCS, there is no reason to

FWIW: Ralph, I think Mike is proposing that we use the built in github SVN functionality. I.E., you can use git or SVN - both can read or write to the same backend repo. Pretty clever of github, actually. See the github blog entry he referenced, if you care. But I agree: although dvcs are very

re item (5): The current svn tree can be set as read-only and serve as a reference for old commit numbers. It is rarery used anyway to search through historic commit numbers and can be done in read-only historic tree. All other items can use svn interface of guthub and stay w/o any change. It is

Yeah, even if someone volunteered to do the conversion work, we wouldn't get agreement on making such a change. Some of us hate git (myself included), some feel similarly about mercurial, etc. Unfortunately, we've seen enough pain from git+svn to definitely not want to go that route. The curre

That's pretty clever, actually (SVN and git effectively together in the same repo). Cool! However, migrating to git has all the same problems that I mentioned in the prior email to you. Is Mellanox volunteering to do all the work for conversion? On Aug 18, 2012, at 3:28 AM, Mike Dubman wrot

btw, once it is at github, it can be the only repo with multiple access interfaces: svn,git https://github.com/blog/1178-collaborating-on-github-with-subversion Finally, we can commit from git or svn w/o keeping r/o mirrors for hg/git . What do you think? On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 2:07 PM,

Come to think of it, why not host the official mercurial SVN mirror repo on Bitbucket for the same reason (lots of nice hg features on Bitbucket -- nicer than hgweb/www.open-mpi.org's hosting). There's no need to delete the original mercurial SVN mirror on www.open-mpi.org (because I know of at
