Dear Jon,

No concerns from my side, I am used to SVN and GIT. Git is quite convenient
as you can easily work offline (submissions in SVN are not possible when
offline), so I think the move is a very good idea.

Please let us know when it is done so we change our repositories to point
to the new location.

Saludos

Javier

Thanks, unless anyone has concerns we'll move forward then.

then I
learned on Git, so maybe I'm just not used to it). Either way, you have
my
vote for Git.

Hello all,

I'm (seriously) considering whether we should migrate from Subversion to
Git for our source control. Your thoughts?

This seems like a good intro to working with Git

To verify that it's even feasible, I've converted the repository and

set up

public read-only access over the web. I've also disabled SVN commits for
now to avoid divergent code bases.

https://git.projectaon.org/

Anyone can clone the repo over HTTPS, but in order to commit changes,

you

need to clone over SSH using your web server account, replacing my

username

(jonathan) with yours.

git clone ssh://jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/~aongit/repos/project-aon.git

When migrating, I used everyone's @projectaon.org email addresses to

avoid

publicly listing private addresses. You can still get spam because the

mail

is forwarded, but we can adjust the forwarding if that becomes an issue.

cd project-aon
git config --local user.name "Your Name"
git config --local user.email "your.name@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Please avoid working directly in the master branch. Other than that, I'm
open to suggestions about branching strategies, the simpler the better.

git checkout develop

I've added everyone who has committed in the past to the list of people

who

will be notified by email when things are pushed. Let me know if you

don't

want to be notified.

Anything else I should do? Is this a bad idea? :)
