Actually, looking closer at the results, the vote was split 8 - 8 between moving to Git and keep using SVN (for now). Only, the way the vote was called fragmented the 'against Git' votes. Also of note is that ALL THREE of the mentors thought it wisest to stay with SVN (for now). But I don't want to redo the vote, I just don't want the project to rush into this without thinking about the "in real life" consequences. > Infra to support Apache projects. I would not be so concerned. Well, I am concerned, and I have been since the time of the vote. But now I am PPMC and have a responsibility to point out things that might harm the project. Moving a project as complex as this to another SCM is not a trivial thing and what I'm reading is that a few very vocal people want this, but none of them is willing to volunteer with INFRA to support this. That worries me and I have yet to be convinced that this project can handle a move this big, at this time.
