Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] Migrate incubator projects to Git?

DVCS is definitely the way to go and the incubator can also be a testbed
for the infrastructure.

I'd like to toss out the idea that the WTP Incubator move off of CVS and
over to Git. The eclipse webmasters put out a general call earlier
asking for interested projects to do the migration. Since the code in
the incubator is pretty self contained, we could do this on a per
component basis. It would also give us a place as a group to test out
and figure out any migration issues that can occur and any build
infrastructure changes that may need to occur as well. The items we
learn here could help benefit the community as a whole.
There are some risks assummed by this move. First while the eGit plugin
is improving drastically every day, it still doesn't have all the
feature level support of the CVS client. So those using git repos would
need to be willing to help out the eGit project and when necessary move
to command line for some items. I suspect that eGit is going to get to
where it needs to be within the next 3 months.
There are build issues that will need to be addressed. I'm planning on
migrating Vex's CI build on Hudson to Maven/Tycho, but keeping existing
functionality in place for the current WTP build. The speed improvements
I've seen in build times with maven have been pretty significant
compared to other methods I've seen. PsychoPath the XPath 2.0 processor
went from an average of 20 minutes down to about 2 minutes for a
complete build. XQuery I've seen similar results, but running under 50
seconds.
Anyways, thought I'd toss this out to the incubator committers and get
some feedback.
