Hey,
so it looks like nobody is really opposed to a git switch and some people would even prefer it (including me), I would like to suggest having a brainstorm on how a switch could look like, and a final decision whether to do the switch or not.
Some points to be considered:
1) I have generally good experience with repo.or.cz for hosting and I like that it concentrates on the bare minimum, but there are other hosters which could be considered. repo.or.cz also makes forking dead simple.
- I think there's already a (or the) git mirror on repo.or.cz, I guess that could be made writable and reused.
2) Git offers different ways of doing it. We could go for a more svn-like management where certain people are allowed to push to a main repo or we could do it like the linux kernel where a single person manages the mainline and pulls from all the other guys.
3) move geany-plugins as well?
I would very much like to see the switch! git-svn is a large pain in the arse.
Best regards.
