Starting the Git Experiment
Dear committers,
We now have a green light from infrastructure to switch to using Git as our writable VCS. This is to be considered a live experiment. If something breaks its possible we'll have to revert back to SVN. But nothing will break and everyone will forgive me for any bugs that may crop up.
If there are no objections I would like to switch over soonish. Normally I would say Monday to give people a chance to respond to this email but we've had quite a few discussions on switching to Git already and no one has voiced opposition. Seeing as that's the case if I get a majority of +1's from the committers I'll start disabling SVN access as soon as I see the majority vote.

Oops, forgot that status update.
I reran the scripts for the mirrors on git.apache.org using the same version of git-svn I used to generate the last writable git repo. The result was that it calculated the same hashes as what we had so I feel comfortable blaming this on the different git-svn versions.
Bottom line, any project that already has a mirror on git.apache.org will just use that as the basis for the new writable repo so that hashes will are preserved.

That's enough of a consensus for me. I'll ask for SVN writes to be disabled and bring up the new Git repo. I'll send emails when SVN goes down and Git comes up.
