Hi.
We have now for a while had a readonly Git copy of our svn repo.
Should we move to a full git repo, making it easier for new developers to
participate (although it is in no way a guarantee, that it will attract new
people) by lowering the barrier.
For more documentation on Git at Apache see https://git-wip-us.apache.org/
Moving to a full git repo (see http://git.apache.org/), would mean giving
up our current SVN repo, but history etc. will be available in Git instead.
The choice is there, and it is just a matter of how people want to work.
thoughts ?

I'm not sure I understand the comment about making things easier but then
I'm not a git user currently. I'm good with svn.
I know we have read only git right now.
I'm not a core developer but working here and there on the website. So,
at least I don't need Git - of course that's not counting. ;-)
However, does staging and publishing the website also work via Git?
Regarding the argument "to attract more new developers":
I don't know if this is the reality as I haven't see any comment from
newbies like "If you would use Git I would start working" or similar.
So, I'm not sure if a change would give us more developers.
When changing then it will be more because of technical reasons - like
branching could be easier than in SVN.
