Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] git anyone?
From: hermanradtke@gmail.com (Herman Radtke)

The DVCS migration path would not have to be as radical as the path
from cvs to svn.  A single section of the overall svn repoistory can
be migrated to a DVCS.  This pilot repo would serve two purposes:
determine if that DVCS is the correct choice and allow for a more
gradual learning curve.

Python is in the process of doing this with Mercurial:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/ - PEP 374: On switching to a DVCS
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0385/ - PEP 385: Migrating from svn
to Mercurial

There was talk of other alternatives to a DVCS too.  Those should be
considered fully as well.
