[bind10-dev] Switching to GIT (and Trac integration)

[Jeremy C. Reed]

We are migrating away from svn to use git. We will start using git for 
our source repository on Wednesday, January 5, 2011.

I don't plan to offer a subversion gateway after that (since we are a 
small project). (I have around ten jobs on around five servers that do 
automated subversion checkouts/updates that I will convert to use git. 
In addition, I need to setup the git hooks for emailing commit diffs.)

I will provide a short guide explaining common git uses for BIND 10 
development and a few comparisons with svn commands. (Also I hope to 
provide a few speed comparisons for checking out, updating, copying, and 
merging branches.)

As for the Trac interface ... I am still testing the git integration. It 
was suggested in our meeting that maybe we don't need to have Trac 
integrated with a source revision control system. This means that the 
source browser component wouldn't be included with Trac and the timeline 
wouldn't show source code commits and wiki and tickets referencing code 
revisions wouldn't be hyperlinks pointing to the code. I think the Trac 
source code "diffs" have been useful. Anyone have comments on this?
