[gst-devel] Conversion to GIT (no, really, I mean it this time)

[Edward Hervey]

Hi all,

  No, this is no longer another boring mail from myself regarding test
repositories and all that crap...

  ... WE ARE REALLY SWITCHING TO GIT THIS MONTH !

  The current switch date is set to just after the upcoming releases of
core/base/python/bad, which should be on Monday 19th of January.

  What will happen at that point:
  * All of gstreamer cvs repositories will become read-only
  * All the gstreamer modules will be converted to git using the scripts
used to do the previous git test conversions
  * The git repositories will be pushed as read-only to the main
freedesktop.org servers.
  * After some final integrity checks (hopefully less than a few hours)
the repositories will be made read/write
  * Go party
  * Make GStreamer even more awesome

  A big thanks to everyone involved for their patience regarding this
conversion, it's been a hectic road since the decision back in Istanbul,
but I think it was worth the ride.

    Edward
