[ jEdit-devel ] Enablnig git on sourceforge?

[Marcelo V. <va...@us...>]

Hi there,

I've been mainly using git to develop my jEdit code these days. I
really like the quick feature branch feature, and the git-svn package
really helps, especially with multiple branches and merging. (I can
never remember how to merge using svn directly, with git it's very
trivial.)

So the obvious next step would be to ask... why have svn in the way at
all? So I guess I have two questions:

1) Would plugin packagers be OK with using git to fetch the sources?
Shouldn't be hard (git clone + git checkout, or git init + git pull to
get just a branch).

2) Someone would have to go to the project admin page and enable the
git feature. I can create repos and use git to clone / update them,
but gitweb says the project doesn't exist.

Then, at some point, we could even put jEdit in there... I see there
is a jedit repo in the git directory at sourceforge, but didn't check
what's in it.
