Right. When I looked at the converters last time, there was others that
produce a better conversion, but they didn't work incrementally. If
we're going to switch over the main repository, we should look at the
alternatives.
OTOH, there's some value in staying with current GIT repository. In
EnterpriseDB, we maintain all the Oracle-compatibility stuff in a GIT
repository that's based on the PostgreSQL mirror. If PostgreSQL switches
to a new GIT repository/mirror, I'll have to rebase all that, and I'm
not sure how well that works with all the merges and stuff. I'm probably
the one with most complex situation, but others who have
work-in-progress patches in local repositories will face the same issue
at a smaller scale.
