Thanks for the information.
However, this sounds like more work than I can effort to do. I just
don't want to start with this and then it delays to ever like many
other things I started (shame on me, but working on it :D).

If anyone has time to write such a script, I'd be happy to include it
as a hook script.
Btw, we already have a GIT mirror at repo.or.cz:
http://repo.or.cz/w/geany-mirror.git
Not sure if that helps anything.


To the general GIT discussion:
I don't mind whether we switch or not. It is at least initially a lot of
work for the change but that might be worth in the long run, I can't
judge this.
If Nick, Frank and Colomban want to, then let's go. I won't vote
for or against it.


Regards,
Enrico
