Hi All,
         
        Just following up on Peter’s email to remind
            you that the EclipseLink SVN repository will be locked EOB
            Friday, pending transition to the new Git repository.  SVN
            will continue to be available in read-only mode after that.
         
        To enable as smooth a transition as possible,
            please hold off on any non-essential commits after EOB
            Thursday, as we would like to keep the builds stable
            through-out this transition period.  
         
        July 12th
              –
            complete regular check-ins to SVN
        July 13th
            - final check
            ins to SVN.  Please hold off on any non-essential check-ins
            on this day.
            July 16th - Git repo will be online. 
         
        Thanks,
            David

        Hi All,
          
          As you all know, we are getting close to migrating to Git, and
          we have schedule, and are starting to work out what this all
          will mean.The current plan is that we will start using Git on
          July 16th.  What does this mean?  Well, in a perfect world it
          would mean that you would do your last SVN checkin on the 13th
          of July and then start using Git seamlessly the next monday. 
          I don't expect that to happen, but we are going to try and
          make things as painless as possible.
          
          They are still some unknowns at this point, but what we are
          going to try to do at this point is something like this:
          
          NOW - get tools needed for Git development, and start playing
          around with our sample repo (Eric can you send info on hwo to
          connect to that repo?)  
             --  http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/Process/Git
          July 13th - final check ins to SVN.  Note - any open
          TXNS after friday will have to be checked into GIT.
          July 16th - Git repo will be online, and we will likely
          be working out kinks for a few days at that point.  
          
          I know that some of you have been experimenting with GIT
          already, and will be able to help others.  Let's try to share
          knowledge to make this migration less painful...
          
          Peter
