[opensource-dev] Snowglobe Mecurial Repository

[Dzonatas Sol]

At the Open Source meet today, it appears we have a light at the end of 
the tunnel for the SVN repository, so we need volunteers, eventually, to 
help manage the hg repository.

Here is the hg site for linden lab: http://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/

To help clarify the movement, the oss-viewer branch in the svn 
repository is the export from Linden Lab's internal branch. It appears 
there was no disagreement to let that process be automated as much as 
possible.

The snowglobe-1.3, snowglobe-1.4 and snowglobe-2 branches in the svn 
repository are now the interim solution to continue merges on snowglobe. 
If there is no resistance, then most of what is in oss-viewer can be 
easily merged over to svn snowglobe-1.x branches (either 1.4 or v2)

To help quicken the merges and to save the history of them, we need 
volunteers on to help with the hg repository. The snowglobe-1.x branches 
can migrate over the hg on bitbucket.org.

With the above knowledge, this is to help minimize the maintenance to 
has been needed in order to merge the svn way.

I think a question would be is if we want, as a community, to start with 
snowglobe 1.4 or snowglobe 2.0 as the master hg repository on bitbucket.
