Yes ,I have these same concerns as Mark.
Of all the Maven related projects which have been moved from SVN to GIT I
haven't seen more patches then before. So I'm not sure if this will
increase the number of contributions.
Don't get me wrong: I do understand the advantages of GIT, but especially
the cloning part makes it a lot easier to maintain your own version (you
don't depend on one of the plugin maintainers to approve patches, if any
is still alive).

This has nothing to do with GIT itself (which I love), but with the
missing 'ownership'.
It's totally easy on github to just fork a project and fix your bug
there - fully agree!
But what about merging this stuff back? Well, this just does not happen
most of the time.
And this is the reason why I still love to have those projects over here
at codehaus, eclipse or apache.
Mostly because all people then know where to get the origin from.
Again, this has nothing to do with GIT vs SVN. It just has to do with
having some 'cannonical' source or not.

Subject: Re: [mojo-dev] Re: Mojo GIT migration or mirroring?
Just asking: Does Github offer to provide an SVN mirror? Or is there
any other way to have a mirror without too much hazzle?

For GIT users there are several ways to work with SVN, so that's
probably why this isn't that urgent.
That's not really a good reason not to, because:
* The SVN >> Git process isn't fast (because SVN is itself SLOW)
* Each converter has to find motivation to bother setting this up
and doing it in the first place. (read, they'll just not bother most
of the time)
* Each conversion will have a different set of hashes even if the
other parameters are the same and thus won't be able to be
collaborated between effectively. Having a single official mirror
means others can effectively work together on "it" with the final
result pulled back into SVN when ready and then automatically pushed
back to Git again. The work flow is a pain, but still a lot better
than suffering SVN in the first place.

I'm not ignoring the work involved in mirroring, just pointing out
some facts. I don't think the Maven tool-set / infrastructure is 100%
ready for Git, to be perfectly honest. The sink or swim method may be
a good way to get it there, but might be painful, too. I'd certainly
appreciate more Git friendly behaviour, though :-)

Folks... if anyone has an answer to this question, I would be all
ears.
Can I work with GIT or Mercurial here? Onto some mirror?
If not - is there a process to distribute projects/plugins to GitHub?

Hello all,
I wonder if the Mojo project has a structured way of migrating to a
distributed VCS (GIT, presumably, or Mercurial) for various
currently
SVN-based projects - or any policy on a 2-way mirroring between the
two
VCS'es.
I believe distributed VCSs increase visibility and reduce
complexity for
donning a patch compared to the standard subversion way,
particularly with
the help of processes and services such as GitHub or BitBucket.
Anything
that can increase visibility and reduce hinders in contributing
patches to
projects is in itself a Good Thing.
So ... is there a Git/Mercurial mirror or migration process for SVN
projects at Codehaus?
If so - where can I find access details?
If not - why?
