Today, it is the time for us to upgrade from version 1.7.0.4 to 1.7.6.1= (the latest stable). It is important for us to work with the latest version since it correct= s defects that are very impacting for us. The difficulty of this migration is that we can't afford migrations pro= blems (in order to maintain productivity and work). That is the reason why I have a couple of questions: 1- Is it possible to have two GIT installations pointing on the same repositories?=20 One of this installation would be GIT 1.7.6.1 used by a restricted numb= er of people (these people could be called 'beta-testers' of the new GIT vers= ion). The other installation would be GIT 1.7.0.4 used by the other users (th= e majority of users) with no impact on their productivity. Once the beta-tests will be finished and successful, all the users will= move to GIT 1.7.6.1. 2- Do you have any suggestions, trips, hints and best practices in orde= r to upgrade GIT in such a context? Thanks a lot for your answers.
