[cgma-dev] Migrating repo to git

[Tim Tautges (ANL)]

Hi Jane /all,
   Jane, could you look at http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git for migrating an svn repo 
to git, and make sure you understand it all?  And, compile a list of all users on the svn side that we know about, and 
see if you can find bitbucket users for the ones we work with?

Others: we'll be moving the cgm code repo to bitbucket.com shortly.  If you'd like to continue looking over the code or 
using it, don't worry, you'll be able to do that anonymously just like you currently can with the svn repo.  If you'd 
like to be involved in CGM development or propose code changes, I'd encourage you to get a (free) bitbucket account and 
interact with us there.  Bitbucket provides a nice web front-end to a git repository; you can interact with git just 
like you would if it were hosted on your own system, but also, the web interface allows you to do things like submit 
tickets and pull requests (code changes you'd like to send back to us) and a way to track those things.  If you're 
familiar with github, it's a lot like that.

Thanks.  Once the move is done we'll email this list again, as well as turn off writing to the old repo.  Eventually 
we'll take that old repo offline, but not for a little while after the switchover.
