+## 8 February 2016 - Apache Lucene/Solr development moves to GIT
+
+As of January 23rd 2016, Lucene/Solr source code is hosted in Apache's GIT repository. 
+This means that the old SVN repository is now stale and should not be used.
+For information on working with git, please consult 
+[The Solr web site](http://lucene.apache.org/solr/resources.html#solr-version-control)
+and the [WIKI](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Git%20commit%20process)
+
+The [GitHub mirror](https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/) remains at 
+the same location as before, but since it now mirrors git.apache.org, the contents
+has changed. Therefore, if you had a personal fork, you will find
+that it has changed its "origin remote", and you will have to re-add the
+Apache repo as your origin, and then rebase your changes. Instructions 
+[here](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Git%20commit%20process).
+
+If you had active Pull Requests against our GitHub mirror, these are unfortunately
+gone, but not lost. Please create a new PR against the new mirror or send an email 
+to the [dev-list](mailto:dev@lucene.apache.org) to ask for details of your old one.
+
+The PMC is happy to answer any question you may have regarding this change.

 ## 23 January 2016 - Apache Solr 5.3.2 Available
