And a workflow that dupes everything doesn’t bother you? It is one of the many many roadblocks we place in the way of contributors.

This is the part where Regina chimes in and claims that road blocks are a good thing, so we have:

(a) multiple places to work branches/PRs is a good thing and
(b) deliberately making contribution is a good thing

and I don’t know what to say to folks who honestly hold those opinions. 

I hate to see all the effort lavished on all this programmer wankery that could be eliding by going to the place where the developers are. It’s not like we’re locked in, we’ve moved before, we’ll move again. We moved to different places because they provided better collaboration than the places they replaced. Recently that metric has changed to instead wanting places that provide ideological consistency for a subset of the PSC. 

CSV/nothing - Refractions
SVN/custom - Google Code
SVN/trac - OSGeo

I’d like to hear what Bborie is thinking,
