Hi Frank, Did you get a chance to look through the conversion? How would you feel if I reached out to the sourceware overseers list to get an empty git repository setup (I guess that's the right place to ask)? Having the repository setup doesn't mean we're committed to a specific conversion (or even converting at all), but having the repository setup will probably take a while, so maybe we should get that ball rolling. Then once we agree on a specific conversion we can push it. Thanks for your time, Andrew
