[Live-demo] [live-demo] Migration to git

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your kind words :)

My initial e-mail was a proposal to start discussing moving to git, it 
was not an official roadmap or a migration announcement.
The goal of this thread is to hear voices of support or voices against 
the Git migration, to see if the developers want this or not. I have 
discussed this issue with lots of developers in the last couple of 
years, I would like to hear their voice here :)

Your understanding is accurate: I just created the Git mirror so we can 
all evaluate how the repository would look like (with history and 
everything), but it is *read only* for now. In case there is a serious 
amount of pull requests from git, I have a backup plan to commit from 
Git to SVN but I would like to avoid for now :)

Regarding the issue tracker: we could keep the one we currently use, 
with the Trac-Git plugin. I hope that SAC will be able to support us 
with this.
We could also start thinking for other solutions like Redmine or Gitlab 
(for source and tracker) if we feel they are superior.
My personal preference would be to use free solutions for our 
infrastructure. An OSGeo GitLab installation would be great to have.

Cheers,
Angelos
