[Debconf-team] Migrating infrastructure from svn to Git

[Richard Hartmann <richih.mailinglist@gmail.com>]

Dear all,


there seems to be very strong consensus to move from svn to Git. If
you object, voice your concerns _now_.

I hear gaudenz has been investigating this in the past; hearing from
him would be appreciated.


Assuming there are no major blockers, expect a migration within a few
weeks at max.
A more detailed timeline and instructions will be published well before that.

During migration, the svn repository will receive a final push that
blanks the working copy and puts in a single README, detailing the
process of how to switch over. History will obviously be retained
indefinitely.
