[jms-spec users] [jsr368-experts] svn -> git (GitHub)

Hi all,

What do you think of using this unfortunate "quiet period" to move from
Subversion to Git?

The way the java.net svn repo is organized does not allow for easy
migration to Git, but here is a suggestion that should be feasible:

   - Migrate the jms2.1 folder to a new Git repository as the master branch.
   - Migrate the www folder to a new Git repository (separate from the
   above)
   - Keep the rest in the Subversion repo as is

Why GitHub and not java.net?

   - GitHub offers better support for collaboration and pull requests
   - I don't have access to create repositories on java.net
   - The future of java.net is uncertain (rumor has it...)
   - When and if we have a java.net Git repo, we can move everything there,
   treat as master and use the GitHub repo as a mirror.

Any objections? Or suggestions otherwise?
I will be happy to fix this and for the purpose I have created a GitHub
group/organization:
(we have done the same thing with JSR 371 and JSR 375)

https://github.com/jms-spec

I will add all of you to this group if I can find your github user. Please
email me your username if you don't get an invitation.
