I agree with the git option too.

Cheers,

To all committers:

SourceForge have announced that they plan to terminate CVS read-write
support on November 30.

The CVS manual module will still be available after that for checkouts
and updates, but not for commits.

That means that we have around 7 weeks to implement another solution.

Options are:

- convert the module to SVN on SourceForge;
- convert the module to Git on SourceForge;
- convert the module to  and host it somewhere else.

Given the nature, and low traffic, of our module, I'm inclined to
go for in-place conversion to SVN. But the other options are also
feasible.

Any opinions?


I think it would be preferable if the documentation project would move 
to GitHub (https://github.com/FirebirdSQL), where the main project resides.


If complexity of git is a problem: GitHub also allows subversion access 
to a git repository: 
https://help.github.com/articles/support-for-subversion-clients/


I am willing to spend some time to test and perform the conversion of 
the manual module to Git (and GitHub), so the commit history is 
preserved. If the consensus is for subversion, I can do that as well.


Just a heads up: This is also being discussed in firebird-admin.

Convert to Git and put it under FirebirdSQL organization on GitHub for
extra visibility. It might even help with contributions.
