Should I update the "GitMirror" page to suggest people run "git svn clone -rHEAD" instead of using the no-longer-updated official mirror? Perhaps the page should also be renamed?
Sounds like this is a better idea than what we're advising people to do now,
I'll update the page, then.
although it also sounds like we should add a post-commit hook to push to tell our local bzr mirror to 'git svn fetch' and then the official mirror will be a good idea again.
I'm not sure whether an official mirror is a good idea - it's another service that would need to be maintained, and it seems that among Twisted core devs there's not a lot of interest or expertise in maintaining it. If Git-using contributors can take care of things themselves without adding any extra administrative load on Twisted's volunteers, what use would an official Git mirror be?
The obvious answer is that having one mirror to point people at is better than letting them wonder amongst a forest of dozens of mirrors. On the other hand, maybe Git users prefer the latter scenario. A number of people have asked for an official Git mirror, though. If no one wants this anymore, then by all means let's forget about it.
