Gallery moves to Subversion

Submitted by bharat on Thu, 2006-04-27 07:48
Gallery has switched its revision control system from CVS to Subversion to take advantage of Sourceforge's latest offering. Subversion is faster and more featureful than CVS and should increase our development velocity, which means that you get a better product, faster. For those of you who are using Gallery via CVS, we've created a page in the Codex that explains how to use Subversion including how to migrate over from CVS. If you don't know what CVS is, then you won't have to worry about this.

The migration to SVN was a bumpy road. With almost six years of source code history tipping the scales at over 3 GB, the Gallery repository is the largest one that Sourceforge has migrated so far. There were many problems along the way, but thanks to the tireless efforts of Alan Harder from our dev team and some key support from David Burley at SourceForge.net, we persevered.

I, for one, welcome our new revision control overlords!
