#66 migration to git?
Hi there,
As noted in https://sourceforge.net/blog/decommissioning-cvs-for-commits/ , CVS support in sourceforge is now read-only. Do you have any interest in migrating to git? Is there anything I could do to help you with this migration?
I have done a repo conversion from CVS to git locally for use downstream in the Debian package of sqsh, and would be happy to push this to sourceforge for upstream use.
git would seem to also open the door for a nicer patch submission workflow, and we have a downstream delta in Debian that it would be nice to forward for consideration.
Looking at GitHub Quickstart for Projects, I think the first step would be to create an "organization project". To do this, you first have to setup a GitHub "organization". See Creating a new organization from scratch.
But it looks like a GitHub "organization" needs a either a real organization behind it, or a real person with a personal email. I haven't used GitHub before, but I would be glad to give this a try. But I would want buy-in/approval from the existing sqsh owners on SourceForge before doing this
