Re: Thoughts on moving NAnt to git

Definitely something other than CVS. SVN seems to be a good enough SCM that a 
lot of people are familiar with. I doubt people will be doing large 
branches/merges to warrant getting into git. I wrote a little patch for nant a 
while ago and would probably do a few more minor minor things if the code was in 
something other than cvs.

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons for this question right there. :)

There use to be a link for an svn repo in NAnt's SF site but it wasn't used as a 
primary, so it was removed awhile back.  That may have been a source of 
confusion.  We've been using cvs ever since I joined the project.

If we were using svn today, I don't think I would be considering git right now.  
And I suggested git because I have been using it lately for personal projects 
and I like it.  Its easy for me to use on both *nix and Windows platforms.  
Plus, it seems to be popular with other open source projects.

Yeah, I was thinking of sometime after 0.91 final is released.  It's good to ask 
around for opinions now though.
