I'm generally in favour of git. I am a bit reluctant to see so many eggs
being put in the github basket, but I'm probably in the minority there,
and ultimately, git's distributed nature is a defence against this.
indeed it is. there are of course other hosting providers but github is
the slickest and most widely known. their recent round of fundign means
they probaly arnt going anywhere any time soon and they were already self
funding anyway.
I had toyed with the idea of setting up a hosted git
repo capability on
urchin, but that probably isn't going to happen any time soon.
I am skeptical about the power of git to pull in new
blood, but I'd
love to be proved wrong :)
github with its pull requests does at least lower the barrier to entry of
trying to provide patches.
Don't forget about the auxillary stuff in the
current subversion repo;
some of that at least will need to stay in subversion.
i had only intended to do the main code base for the time being. The other
bits indeed will have to be looked at in due course.
If the 3 of us are in agreement I suggest I carry on with switching us
over.
