Hi,

For those of you building gwt-log, gwt-dnd or gwt-voices from source, just a heads up to let you know that the Google Code source repositories for these projects have been upgraded from Subversion (svn) to Git.

This should be especially beneficial for anyone running a patched version of these projects, since you can easily create a clone (e.g. http://code.google.com/p/gwt-log/source/clones) and modify the code to your liking, while still being able to easily pull in changes from the main repository.

Also, contribution of patches is made easier. Rather than submitting a patch file which must be manually applied, you can commit the suggested change to your clone repository, which can then easily be pulled in to the main repository, or shared among clones.

Never heard of git? You might like to watch:
