Status of GIT for apache?

[Thomas Koch <th...@koch.ro>]

Hi,

since there has been a long thread now about how to use GIT to interact with 
the apache SVN directories, I assume, that there'd be quiet an interest to 
have native GIT support by the ASF.

So what is the current status? I'm still available to setup and maintain a 
Gerrit installation for the ASF. Is there any project interested to test it 
out?

(What ist gerrit:

)

Best regards,

There's a Git component [1] for the INFRA project in Jira that lists
the tickets related to Git work at the ASF. The biggest issue I want
to tackle before getting people to use Git @ ASF is to plug
authorization directly into LDAP instead of using a file created for
SVN authorization.

After that it's mostly a matter of getting everything documented and
then tested in an actual production environment with mirroring to the
EU.
