We’ve been talking about the transition for about 5 years now. So far, only people interested in git have showed up to do any work at all. Subversion has lost, and even Apache, the main users of it, are moving to git. We started early in the year with the firm plans and have been working on it since then. These conversations have happened all over the place, and we’ve been posting to developers for months now... There’s some draft guides, but they need work which is on my plate. They are OK, but have some issues on the more complicated bits.
