Hi Everyone,

I propose to request for a "native" git repository.

Cheers,
Alex

I actually wrote a few lines which help to get started with git-svn (i 
believe)
http://wiki.apache.org/logging/

I'd prefer to keep the SVN repo:
 1) The project is inherently centralized and so I'm not sure what
we'd gain by picking up a distributed RCS.
 2) The SVN infrastructure is all in place and seemingly working fine.
 There's no indication that we're missing contributions because they
refuse to play with our RCS (a la the recent kerfuffle around BZR
kicked up by ESR).
 3) We're all new enough at Apache that I'd like our infra/workflow to
look as much like every other project as possible since that makes it
easier to ask others for help.

If you're willing to wait for the initial checkout (which might be
lengthy), you might find git-svn would let you connect to the SVN
backend well enough to get your git cli fix.

Apache doesn't have a preference here. We have several projects running 
on Git
and its fully supported by our Infra. You can make your decision based 
on your own
opinion without caring about the foundation.

Guten Tag Alexandru Zbarcea,

I vote against because I prefer Subversion anyways, but from my
understanding Apache still focuses on it and I really don't see the
benefit from switching to another SCM at this stage of the project. I
even expected each committer was aware that the project currently uses
Subversion and is able to deal with it.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
