Migration to Mercurial
======================

OpenOffice.org developers,

here - as promised - some information about the migration of the DEV300 
code line to Mercurial.

The next milestone DEV300 m63 will be the last milestone published via 
SVN. Newer milestone will only be available from the Mercurial 
repository (http://hg.services.openoffice.org/DEV300).

The SVN server will still be available for some time to come. Please 
continue your work on your existing SVN hosted child workspaces as 
usual. You don't need to migrate your CWS immediately. You are only 
required to migrate your CWS if you need to update it to DEV300 m64 or 
later. Please see the migration guide for details.

 From now on, new child workspaces should be Mercurial hosted. You will 
still be able to create a new DEV300 m63 based SVN hosted child 
workspace, but this just means unnecessary migration work later.

Please don't hesitate to contact me per email or IRC if you have 
questions. My IRC nick is 'blauwal'.
