Git repo
Sorry folks, I've been out of action with a Lurgy.
Trying to catch up on the backlog.
We have a chicken-and-egg situation with setting
up a Git repo, which should be the last of the
main bootstrapping tasks before we can properly
get going.
In setting up a git repo, we have the option to
import an existing repo. I'd like to use that to
import from github (and request apache<->github
mirroring so github users can work there, submit
pull requests, etc). But to do so, I need to know
exactly what's to be imported, and that we have a
software grant for it.
Alternatively, if there isn't a direct correspondence
to existing github/Certivox/ repos, we can create a
new empty repo and import stuff manually.
What's the current situation with the repos at github?

Here is the documentation on the matter.

I've heard there is some aversion to solely using Github since it is a
private company.

That sounds a similar model to trafficserver, from my existing projects.
The point of my question was regarding imports of existing repos.
If I don't hear anything more, it'll be an empty repo to
populate manually.

Hi Nick,
To give you an alternative:
* Use the ASF incubator Git repo servers as the primary
* Use the GitHub mirror process to share a mirror of milagro (this is read only)
* Community members raise PR's on GitHub
* Committers download patches from the PR and use 'git am' to apply
the patch to a local copy then push to the ASF git server
E.g.
https://github.com/apache/libcloud
This gives you the community visibility and engagement but keeps the
source controlled within the ASF servers and credentials.
This is a typical process for other TLPs
