[LLVMdev] git Status Update?

[Talin]

This is why I posted a link to the transition plan for Python -
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0385/ - to use as a model for LLVM's
transition. There are a lot of questions which need to be answered:

-- Where will the main repository be hosted?
-- What branches will be copied over from svn to the main repository?
-- What tools will be used to copy the history?
-- What presubmit hooks will be needed before the repository can go live?
-- Who will manage the set of core committers, and what tools / training
will they need?
-- Will the project hierarchy look the same as it does now?
-- Will there be any subprojects of LLVM that will not be migrating?
-- Will the LLVM history be trimmed to save space? If so, what will be the
cutoff?
-- What tool will replace the existing ViewVC functionality on the
llvm.orgwebsite?
-- What will happen to the old SVN repositories afterwards?

That's just a starter list, I'm sure there are many more questions that
could be asked,
