| I was planning to raise this also. Given that CDT is moving to GIT, I don't see any reason not to move PTP to GIT as well.

CDT intends to switch to GIT for Juno. I strongly feel we should do this too.
We have several people in our group which have contributed to PTP but are not committer. To coordinate this work we have been using GIT for a while, because CVS doesn't allow us to setup our own repository . Having our own repository means that everyone can commit. After a task is completed a patch is uploaded to bugzilla (as it would without GIT). Without our own GIT server we would be forced to do send around patches within the team all the time. This would make coordinate work within the team almost impossible.
I think the same applies for any other people who are interested to contribute but are not (yet) committer.
Thus moving to GIT would
- Make it easier for non-committer to contribute
- Allow better team collobration (non-committer can contribute, branches, ...)
- Makes life much easier if GIT is already used internally anyhow
We would gain additional advantages if we would use some of the tools (e.g. gerrit)/workflows (made possible by fast branching) possible with GIT. But just the option to have a private repository without the difficulties of importing from CVS would be a huge advantage from our point.

Maintaining two versions will probably be impossible for us given resource constraints, so we'll need to decide to go one way or the other at some point. Of course, we are dependent on CDT, so their decision will impact on us also.

Doug (your Tools PMC dude).
I have heard of this in other venues but this is the most succinctly-stated i have seen.
So just consider it a heads-up for PTP (as well as for linuxtools which is where this came from)
