[Opensim-dev] Main Repository now in Git

[James Stallings II]

Greetings List  :)

Just wanted to drop a line to the list and let you all know that we've
(OSGrid Core Team) done a bit of research and determined the location of the
file in the which git stores the hash for the the checked out tree (for lack
of better terminology).

I am personally finishing up a patch at the moment to replace the appearance
of the svn revision number with the git hash where it has been present
before (in the client, at region server startup and at in the region
server's 'show version' command output).

Please bear with me, I am not a core dev either and fumble a bit here and
there with the tools, but I am rapidly improving my skills ;)

I will notify the list as soon as I have the patch ready.

ETA: sometime this evening CST.

Hope this eases some concerns among you.

Cheers!
James
