[Swift-devel] Migrating to github

[Wilde, Michael J.]

In in favor of considering this, and putting Swifts /K and /T in close proximity in the repo.

I think its a step to becoming a more open open-source project.

Subject: [Swift-devel] Migrating to github

Right now we have two repos - cog on sourceforge, and Swift on svn.ci.uchicago.edu<http://svn.ci.uchicago.edu>.

Sourceforge's SVN commit hooks are broken, so we do not get email updates automatically from them when a change is made. Instead I rigged a cron job that runs every 5 minutes, checks for changes, and emails them out. It's a little ugly.

Developers wanting to make contributions to Swift need a CI account. This may discourage new developers from getting involved.

Having two repos makes branching, tagging, and building more tedious than it needs to be.

This may need more discussion, but I would like to propose that starting with 0.95, let's merge cog and Swift and move to github.
