I'm done with the above, and it's time to open the repos for the
public.
Here are the next steps:
- We will officiall stay in a "testing" phase for one week, until
Wednesday, 09 April. Please, everyone, have a good look around
and report any problems.
- Subversion is now read-only, meaning you have to commit your
changes to Git.
- If there are problems, we might have to fix them by rewriting
Git history. This means that every clone of the repository will
stop updating and you will *need* to take action to keep
collaborating. Any such news will be announced here and on the
wiki:
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/GitMigration#Important_information
- Go ahead and migrate your dependencies now, from Subversion to
Git. Please keep the old scripts around though, just in case we
do have to rollback. I don't expect this to be necessary, but
then again I didn't think Subversion sucked *that* much until
actually migrating today.
- We'll turn off access to Subversion in approximately one month.

This still applies.
There's been one minor change to the process: all accounting data
from previous years (e.g. receipts, invoices, scans) have been moved
to dcX-accounting-data repositories. The goal is to continue this
practice. However, accounting process information, scripts,
documentation, whatever, should continue to live in the main team
directory.
Now enjoy. I can't believe we put up with Subversion for this long.
