How should we handle commits during the next week or two? I have a few things I want to get in before 1.5 is tagged.
Just keep committing as normal using svn for now. Once we are ready to make the transition (which includes having documentation for windows' users posted and having received positive feedback during the testing phase), we will announce a commit freeze and make sure the time is OK for everyone. During the testing phase and up until we've actually made the transition, the only place where committed code counts is in the svn repo. Once the testing phase has successfully been completed, the testing git repo will be deleted. Then when the commit freeze starts we will make the svn repo read only. At that point David will create a new git repo from the svn repo and host it on github. At that point forward, the svn repo will remain read only so that no one can mistakenly write to it. I hope that makes sense (I just got back from the Euroscipy conference and didn't get any sleep on the plane). Jarrod
