I wonder how many people were like me and completely missed the point of the HN post yesterday.
I thought Apache was saying they were moving all their projects to git from svn. I didn't realize svn itself was an Apache project.
- gecko 13y agoProjects are allowed to use Git instead of Subversion, and there's a workflow in place, as noted in the ticket. Many projects have moved, and many haven't. They seem fairly undogmatic in that aspect.
- fat0wl 13y agostill i think you would expect the svn project would use svn :D otherwise it's a pretty treacherous admission of a codebase being legacy only
- skywhopper 13y agoThis is what I thought as well. This seems like a really poor joke. A press release describing such a planned move that praised git and slammed subversion might have been funny. By an actual JIRA ticket is inappropriate.
- kstrauser 13y agoWhy is that inappropriate, out of curiosity?
- reboog711 13y agoI originally thought the same thing, until I read through to the article. Git is already supported by many Apache projects, though. The Apache Flex team did the move quite a while ago, so their primary repository is in Git.
