Re: [cdt-dev] Git/Gerrit Proposal

+1. Great if this will facilitate the move. However, already a bit familiar with git, personally I won't use the test server working on CDT as it will just add more hassle. I'll wait for the real thing.

Also, I don't like all-in-one granularity. Normally I am not interested at all in debug plugins (sadly, there is no support of dbx). I do not want to pull and recompile those (and occasionally hit problems) every time I update from main repository. My first preference is [component level repos], and then [.project level repos] (see bug 316211) organized in sets on component level and global CDT level. I am sure there are some more users like me out there too.

I propose that we schedule in the move from CVS to Git/Gerrit for late
September after the completion of CDT 7.0.1.

While we're waiting for that, I'll set up a test server that matches
the egit server so that we can get some hands on training with the new
system. I'll start with the single repository, org.eclipse.cdt. And as
we get experience testing with it, we can try different alternatives
as needed.

I believe this approach gives us the best balance between the needs to
learn about all this stuff, the feature completeness of the egit
plug-ins, and disturbance in our schedule. That and I agree with both
sentiments that we can't wait another year for this and that we're not
ready yet.

The great news is that the history seems to come across nicely, so we
can stop check-ins one day, and move to git the next. And still have
all branches available.

Thoughts? -1's?
