Frank: when can we do the actual switch? I can have the time whenever I want this week, I just need to know ;)
I suggest weekend around 2011-10-29. At least at this weekend I've nothing planned yet. But IIRC Enrico was on travel at this date.
I feel it a bit too far, but...
However, I think that for normal committers (you, Nick), there's not much to do:
- stop committing to SVN during the export;
- create an account on the new hosting site if not already done;
- tell the repo owner (me(?)) to grant you commit & stuff rights;
- start committing using Git on new host.
Apart 1, you can even still commit during the process since Git is a DVCS, only push would require steps 2 and 3.
I think this is pretty cheap and can probably be done in a couple of minutes, plus maybe another couple of minutes to read/check the new committing rules (e.g. push development commit to develop branch rather than master, etc.).
The big part is the SVN export/import and porting of "commit hooks", not sure if you have some?
I'm not saying you shouldn't participate (the more qualified volunteers the better!), just that maybe if you haven't the time we can do by ourselves ;)
You asked for a date when I'm free so I looked up ;) But as mentioned in another mail also this weekend would be fine or any other date as I don't be involved this much at this phase.
Cheers, Frank
