Oh boy..
The problem is that we neither are anywhere near a consensus on the way to go(*), nor have the supporting systems in place. Or do we?
I was hoping for a timeframe for a split this week, actually. And then I thought there can't be a whole lot of alternatives to do it traditionally with a cp -a in cvs, so that the xenofarm stuff and everything else on pelix keep chugging along.
Afterall, the mess can be sorted out afterwards in the exports to svn and git. It has been done before.
*) On that matter, all things considered, my vote is git: Local branches and stashes, offline repo, and cherry-picking are simply too good features to pass on. The rest are just details in comparison.
