Is this going to be a move or a copy with auto-update from the current git repo?<br>
<br>
The former is simpler in the long run, but may disrupt some people and<br>

Depends on how you doing step 1. Again, moving will make this trivial.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I mean practices in the hypothetical eventual state of it being the home of the repo.

If you're moving, I'd think you should do this step first.<br>
<br>
If not, someone will have to bear the cost of updating until we get to<br>
a consensus.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think we should wait to do the move until we have a concrete suggested workflow that matches really well with the existing workflow.

The test-suite repo is low-traffic enough that this will probably be<br>
an easy migration.<br>

This tells me you're not moving, but maintaining a separate copy. :)<br>
<br>
I'd be glad to help. My GitHub username is (unsurprisingly) rengolin.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Cool, will loop you in as we go!</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
