Re: [gatein-dev] GIT migration

I cut off write access to: https://svn.jboss.org/repos/gatein/portal/trunk Julien will be starting migration process to github. This should hopefully take us around 2 days to test everything properly. We aim to be able to continue with access to the new repo on github around Monday morning. I will try to provide basic documentation covering source code contribution to the project by then. Please tell me if you have any serious reasons to re-enable svn access to gatein/portal/trunk.
