Migrating to github?

[corny]

I would like to see soap4r on github. What do you think about that
idea?

Migrating from subversion to github:

It is also possible to mirror the subversion repository on github:

I like the idea, and I know a few git tricks, I would gladly help in
the migration.

Cheers.

Good idea. Some thoughts.

1. I need to maintain soap4r + httpclient at least 5 years because I
used it for my job last year.
2. I'll use svn + Trac for the time being because of issue tracking
maintenance. I'm using GibHub Issues but it seems a little simpler
than I expecting for now. (http://github.com/nahi/f2p/issues)
3. Developers who need to use soap4r should be able to hack XML
Schema, SSL, etc so they would need easy-to-use repository for soap4r.
Also I can pull the fix from it.

For the last reason, soap4r should have the mirror git repository at
GitHub. Am I understand correctly?

Corny, Felipe, would you teach me what should I do for that? All
branches in svn (it's just a copy though) are mirrored to github?

I'll fix current trunk and branches/1_5 confusion soon. I found that
too much work needed for ruby_1_9 so I'll merge trunk and 1_5 at
first. After releasing 1.5.9 I'll reconsider how I can give a try for
ruby_1_9.

Hiroshi -

There is a Git adapter for Subversion called git-svn.

If you want, you could use git-svn to access your Subversion
repository for a while to get used to git before actually changing the
repository itself.

Ok, you've piqued my interest as a developer who maintains his own
source repos. I've just moved my own source repositories from CVS to
SVN a few years ago. There were some compelling reasons to do so. What
compelling features does Git offer over Subversion? Just curious. We
can spin this off into a separate thread so as not to threadjack if
you guys prefer.

I think we should move completely to git. You can still use Trac for
ticket handling, and even integrate git to it.

Here's my proposal:

Have you seen Linus Torvalds' video? I think he pretty much explains
why svn is not desirable.
