[Openoss-devel] Eclipse encouraging migration ot Git

[Flauw, M. <Mar...@hp...>]

Dear all,

You may have seen the mail from Duncan that I re-forwarded indicating that Tigerstripe will be moving to Git on Oct 15th.

This mail was pointing to an Eclipse page: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/scmcountdown.php  indicating that "Eclipse projects are encouraged to start planning their migration to Git."

It has also some interesting stats: 64.7% of Eclipse projects use Git as repository, only 14.9% are using SVN. The rest is using CVS and this support will go away on Dec 21, so those projects will move to Git.

This is bringing a new light on this discussion and is showing the need to have a good idea of what would mean a migration of JOSIF to Git: tasks and cost.

Any volunteer to start this?

Best regards

Marc
