Re: [cclib-devel] github fork

[Karol M. L. <kar...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

Nice to see this. And Clyde -- nice project!

Noel, how recently have you looked at the github interface for Windows? If I rememeber
correctly, several weeks ago they made some significant improvements.

I don't know about mercurial, but they do support svn now.

Before moving to github, however, we could set up an "official" fork -- I'd be happy to do it,
and try to suck in Clyde's contribution via that. BTW, I'm +1 on moving to git. I always struggle
with the sourceforge svn tools.
