Re: [Exist-development] [Exist-open] [HEADS-UP] We have moved to GitHub

[Eric P. <er...@er...>]

This is very cool and very welcomed.   I use git daily and think this is a
very good move.

Can we assume that the svn repo will stay up for some time? I have ansible
scripts (ansiblework.com) that install exist on amazon ec2 instances and
will convert this to doing so from git.  However I may not convert over to
git for a couple of weeks are we are in the final planning phase to go live
with a new public site with exist-db as the backend.  Too many other things
to work on before go live.

In consideration of this statement in the readme file
*Note* In the above example, we switch the checked out branch of eXist from
"develop" to "master". We are making use of GitFlow for
eXist<https://github.com/eXist-db/exist#contributing-to-exist>,
and as such "develop" is our current stable work in progress which will
eventually become the next release version, whereas "master" is always the
last released version. The choice of which to use is entirely yours.

Will there be a way to clone a specific version of exist-db via git?  Will
you tag versions and push the tags or will this ability not be there?  Also
is there a file in the repo that contains the lastest version that is
easily parsed?

Thanks
Eric P
