There were 2 votes for git and 5 votes for mercurial, along with one explicit "don't care which". I didn't say that it was to be anonymous (I didn't intend it to be) but because I didn't, I won't reveal who opted for which unless people want me to. FWIW, I preferred mercurial. To make it happen, I'll touch base with Alex Schuilenburg as it's clear he has experience. In particular, to find out if sourceware's hg v1.2.1 is good enough on the server side, or if it's worth upgrading (which will require co-ordination with sourceware overseers). By rights it should be ok, but main concern would be making sure the hg-git plugin will work ok, so git users will be happy. The actual switch should be relatively straightforward given, as mentioned before, the existence of eCosCentric's converted repo which I'd just clone wholesale. But before any roll-out we'll need to update web pages about anoncvs. I should also put together a crib sheet and committing guidelines for maintainers.
