[Scummvm-devel] Switching ScummVM repository to Git

[Vicent Marti]

Hey gentlemen,

I myself am a big GitHub fanboy. The interface is amazing, they have
queue management, great repository browsing, integrated issue
tracking... They even added a seamless SVN interface, where you can
check out a Git repo locally as SVN, and all commits you do are
seamlessly translated to git commits. That'll greatly ease the
transition for those who are afraid/getting up to speed with Git.

Their only problem is that their soft limit on disk space is a tad low
(300 mb), but for a project like ScummVM I think they'll gladly give
up unlimited space if we ask nicely.


Anyway, just throwing around that suggestion. I'm excited anyway that
you are finally moving to Git. ^^

Cheers,
Vicent Martí

Such as https access, and more?  There is a long list on <https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitHosting>. I esp. like the idea of having a code review tool, and maybe a bug tracker that integrates with the VCS.
