[Opensim-dev] Main Repository now in Git

[Sean Dague]

We've now transitioned the main active source repository to git, all the
documentation is not yet updated, but there is a basic document on using
git at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Using_Git.  Over the next week the
rest of the wiki should be cleaned up to match that.

In order to provide minimal impact on our user base there is now a new
subversion mirror of the git working repository.  That can be checked
out with: svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim-track/trunk.  It
is a changeset by changeset tracking repo on unstable upstream git for
opensim (it may be delayed by up to 15 minutes, but will contain all the
same content).  It starts mirroring at version 10001.

The existing http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim svn will no longer be
getting any commits.  If you would like to continue using svn for
anonymous checkout of trunk, please switch to the opensim-track repository.

Users are encouraged to explore using git.  One of the reasons for the
switch is that it makes it easier for our non core contributors to
contribute more complex code, as everyone gets to use an equivalent
toolchain, core or not.

There will probably be a few more bumps along the road, but the
transition today went relatively smoothly.  Questions are always
welcomed as we come through the transition.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
