Moving to Git

A fair increase in Github PR's. Having a git repo might increase the
number of (good) PR's we get, as that seems to be where a lot of
developers are at.

Then we'd be able to have github show merged PR's with credit to the
author rather than closed PR's.

Looks like some of Apache Commons is going through the transition right now.

There's a lot of other Apache projects that have made the change that
could help us along too.

I wonder what is our stance at credits? ... I usually remove the author tags when
I rework code - that's also the reason, why we aren't setting the committer in the changelog.

Hi -

Infrastructure is just now getting something called GitBox going which should help with integration of Apache LDAP etcetera. They are also working on a JIRA service ticket improvement.

Javen it might be good if you reached out to Infrastructure and a clear explanation of how to properly change and what that means for SVN and other workflows like site building and ant builds.

Regards,
Dave

Y, we did it on Tika...in fact, we also jumped to github directly.  It was great.  Not sure it dramatically increased contributions, but it does feel modern...

I'd be all for that. Not particularly proficient, but I can Google like everyone else.
