Hello,

there was a demand to move from svn to git from Marc and Sebastian. I
also believe, that git would save some maintenance work, mainly because
patches could be prepared and applied more easily to the trees used for
development. Here are my ideas:

- I would like to keep the out-of-tree code we have currently under SVN
  mainly because backward compatibility with older kernels is a really
  useful feature, not only for development but also for the real users.
  Maintaining a full git tree with that backward compatibility is much
  more work, I believe.

- Move the SVN kernel/2.6/ tree to git, without the "old" drivers
  and plus strip-src.

- Move the SVN can-utils to a separate git tree.

- Abandon the SVN repository. We keep it, of course, also for support of
  2.4, but we should not spend time for updates.

If we know what we want to change, we can speak about where to host the
git repository and who takes care of what.

What do you think.

Wolfgang.
