Hi Erik, let's see how infra respond to the ticket generated
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5549 (Please all vote to make it happen) Sincerily, this migration should be supported by Apache since is what people in this project wants and infra is about to ease things to make code flow. My main task here right now is make it happen, and I will spend lots of cycles chasing this ticket with infra. I will make as much as I can since I see this a smart movement for this project since it will imply make it more social and modern. For me SCM is critical in this project and SVN is a tool of the past that only hampers the project. I'd want to be in a more positive mind about Infra's thinking and that they are the support part in this foundation. They can have certain problems and lack of resources to make this happen since other thinking will be really very bad to what Apache represents. For me the fact is that there's lots of projects in Git right now as you could see in [1] and others projects was successful making the same steps we are doing. [1] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf My advice is that we don't loose time discussing it and let's see how things evolve with that infra ticket, and see if they stablish communitcation to give us feedback of the next steps. We should have into account that we have a move out of incubation and that should be a great point in time to make the switch.
