Well, despite the initial "haha" reaction, I feel bad for the Subversion project team for all of the attention/politics they're going to get from this.
As you can see on the ticket, they'll already getting the usual Apache internal politics of "that's not how we did it in the 90s!" reaction to any infrastructure/tool changes.
And, with showing up on HN, they'll likely have everyone snickering at how Subversion is so obviously inferior to git that even their own dev team doesn't use it anymore.
When really they're just trying to do their job, with the tools that work best for their situation. (I assume, I have no internal knowledge of their decision, I'm just assuming good intentions.)
- DomBlack 13y agoThis is an April Fools joke.
- grkvlt 13y agoNo, it isn't.
- rabino 13y agoYes it is. See, discussing is fun.
- stephen 13y agoIf it is, it's incredibly well played by Greg Stein. He's riffing off the oft-lambasted git/svn politics, private lists, etc. bureaucracy of Apache, which, to me, made the ticket seem really believable. ...will have to wait until 4/2 to see whether I'm a sucker or not. Although perhaps that means that I am either way. :-)

- grkvlt 13y agoOk, that was very well done... ;)
- rabino 13y agoIt seems you are a sucker.
