[Matlab-emacs-discuss] git, hg, github sourceforge etc

[Uwe B. <ou...@ma...>]

Hi

I open a new thread for better readability.

Till now if I did not miscount, the vote  is

Hg 1
Git 4 (3 for github)

Very well then. It seems clear that people are inclined to git, and to
github in particular, in addition Eric has told us that he is a bit
familiar with git but not with hg.  So git seems the way to go.

I meanwhile was successful in converting the original CVS to git. (I had
converted CVS to HG, and then with 2 converters (hg-git and
hg-fast-export) converted them to git, but I'd prefer the direct import
via git --cvsimport. 

Nevertheless I think we should wait a couple of days more.

However there is one thing that worries me: the archive for the mailing
list.

There seems two possibilities 

    -  Export it to github, however I don't know how to do that, anybody
       has an idea?

    - if this is not possible and the mailing list is important to
      people we could stay in sourceforge, if we manage to convert 
      CVS to git. Sourceforge requires now for *new* repos to chose some
      modern system such as git or hg. But again I did not find any
      documentation for converting an existing repo, if somebody has an idea....
