I don't have any control of the infrastructure. I see that gitlab is preferred for some things (inkscape is probably moving to there, looks like gnome will also). And for the non-book parts, git would certainly be easier (yes, you can still screw up in git, but if there are no submodules then the fix is usually available online). For the books themselves, the ascending numeric versions provided by svn are a useful feature and it looks (e.g. clfs) as if somebody would need to merge commits in the same way that Linus merges kernel commits and rarely writes new code.. Possibly a decimal revision can be generated in a hook. In any case, moving the books was previously disliked (I don't think I've ever seen any practical advice on incremental decimal revision numbers) and there is now a lot more in the books and a greater shortage of editors. ĸen -- I live in a city.
