We'll actually be using svn2git for the migration, so in a very real sense we have you (collectively) to thank :) https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/MoveToGit/UsingSvn2Git > Also there are web pages on svn v. git "equivalence" (as far as it goes, which > is not very far IIRC). Any documentation we write should be written specifically for developers 1. who are accustomed to using Subversion, and 2. want to translate *their MacPorts workflow* to Git. We shouldn't expend effort rewriting a sloppier version of every generic "this is how version control works" Git tutorial on the Web. There's quite enough of that. vq _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
