Re: [Prevayler-coders] Codehaus prevayler CVS needs conversion to SVN

[Justin T. S. <ju...@kr...>]

Yeah, definitely, which is part of the reason I wanted to make sure we
have a good revision history of the old repository, so we can pick it
up again from there. But I also did some stuff in the Java 5
experimental branch that might be worth merging in (other things
people have asked for). Git is supposed to make branches really easy,
so I'm thinking I'd pull those experimental changes into a
"java5-experiment" branch in order to make it easier to merge
individual changes into the master branch. Maybe.

Cheers,
Justin
