To get back to the original point of the thread: nobody has yet objected to git, and all we have are some debates about the ultimate workflow that don't make much difference to whether or how git should be adopted. Is this a fair description?
Yes, that is my take on it. Since it seems that everyone is open to *discuss* moving to git/github, Stefan and I will draft a NEP for this transition. Stefan is currently visiting Berkeley, so we can easily work together on this over the next few days. However, we are going camping this weekend so we will be off-line more or less from Thursday night until Monday night. We will start the git/github NEP during the trip and then post it to the list for feedback and discussion on Monday night or Tuesday morning. If anyone else is interested in helping draft the NEP over the weekend, please let me know ASAP. We will raise and address as many concerns as possible. I believe the concerns raised so far can be satisfactorily addressed and hopefully the process of writing the NEP will let us systematically explore any potential concerns or problems. Here is a quick list of topics we will address in the NEP: - Client (Windows, Mac, and Linux) support - Issue tracking system integration - Buildbot interaction - Workflow - Legacy support for svn clients - Testing and deployment - Potential timeline If you have any other areas of concern you would like to see addressed, please let us know. Obviously, the weekend draft will be subject to change according to the feedback. Thanks, Jarrod
