Git & OFBiz trunk

[Joe Eckard]

I'm considering switching from SVK to Git to stay current with the  
official trunk, and I was wondering if there were any users out there  
who are doing this. If so, would you be willing to share your  
impressions and tips for repository / branch setup? Replies on or off  
list are fine.

I've used svk here to track ofbiz for a long time.  I tried to use
git-svn to import ofbiz, but it wasn't able to complete; some error that
I can't remember now.

I was able to import the trunk and update (fetch / rebase) using git-
svn with no problems... now I'm just not sure if I should be working  
off of the master branch, or a new "main" local branch - and what that  
would mean for the possibility of pushing changes back to OFBiz down  
the line. (Not quite up to speed yet)

Lately I've been getting strange errors from svk sync, which is  
forcing me to look elsewhere.

Using debian?  With perl 5.10 installed?  If so, update perl, it was buggy.
