Re: [Rails-devel] Are we ready for Git?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik & Brett,
I am up for that move. Do you recommend JGit or Egit?

I am wondering if you would consider to move to a maven  build at the same 
time. Ideally by changing to the maven recommended repo layout.

A year ago I considered proposing that and I was able to have it compile under 
maven in a few hours without any previous knowledge of maven.
Main issue was the search for the maven repos of the libs we have in.

My main reason for doing that was the Sonar (http://sonarsource.org) support 
that comes automatically with it.

Stefan
