We will make the changes slowly and with a lot of preparation. You have already seen the IRC channel change, and host names change over to coreboot.org. At some point in the next three months you will see a change in the svn repository name. We're going to be very careful to ensure nothing breaks.
For svn repository moving, it would be nice to have a few people test it in all of its glory before it is done.
Would it be too bold to suggest moving to a GIT repository? I love the search capabilities of that thing...
While git is a nice revision control system and I also work with it for stuff besides coreboot, I fear it does not play well with our current process. Our current committer base is rather small and that makes it easy to use subversion. A few nice advantages of subversion over git are: - easy merging with upstream without cluttering history with "merge xy" changesets - extremely fast checkout - low storage requirements - ability to have subtrees in different repositories. Some of these points might become git features sometime in the future (or already are), but right now I prefer subversion for coreboot.
