There are two things we need for the repositories: - we need to keep svn support. Not everybody is happy to migrate. - there needs to be a sane migration path without a mess. Extra points if there is a script I just need to run and it tells me which of my svn checkouts I should not use anymore as it is in git now. - Migrating a package should be painfree and easy. If you provide some well tested scripts which handle all these things sanely I could imagine that nobody would complain about a migration to git. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprints: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
