The choice of version control means a lot more than working environment of a single developer (primary developer or not) because that is the medium for sharing the source code. Even Linus himself uses git over patches from email, even though the latter method is not bad either for a single patch. Once you master even a single DVCS system (e.g. Git, Mercurial, Bazaar), the limitations caused by subversion or any other centralized version control system start to look much greater than before. I'd suggest trying to apply the workflow used by git development for grub, too. Make sure to have a mirror at github.com and if you don't want to use github's issue tracker, put a big disclaimer about that in github. As far as I know, you cannot disable public issue tracker in github repository's settings. --=20 Mikko --------------enig396C6EC3C31B2E6C58B9457C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlHIHvkACgkQFNzRB1YxaOvXfgCgi5LyS/1oCmojdI7bqMIHYS50 oSsAn0hAKEzDs4h61yXohEDcm1OyKeBb =ZqDW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig396C6EC3C31B2E6C58B9457C--
