So, from what I can understand, the GIT repository would only replace
these three directories:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/
(which would become the master branch)
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/branches/
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/tags/
(which would become GIT branches and tags respectively).
All the rest in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ would stay
unchanged and continue to be managed through SVN, which means that this
has no impact on people who work on the site and on translators who
commit files.
I am OK with the change but we should wait for the opinion of the other
committers who routinely commit to the above directories, since they are
the only ones who will see an impact.
Note that it is known, from previous conversations, that this will
require some scripts to be adapted. One of them is the SVNBot that sends
notifications to Bugzilla depending on commit messages. Another one is
the script that generates filenames and metadata for the buildbots
http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html and now relies on
the SVN revision number. Nothing impossible of course, but we need to be
aware of it.

Andrea.
