Not sure I was at that chatting meeting, but it looks like we are
well on the way to converting from SVN to git. From what I have 
tested so far, the userspace libraries that sasha imported, seem to
be working. We do need to agree on a date when we all stop using
SVN and only use git. I think this can be left up to each maintainer
to clone, prune, and then publish their tree. 

When can everyone be ready for the cutover ? 

For the kernel components, things are not quite as far along. 
We have Rolands 	git tree, but there are several components like
the ucma, SDP, that we need either a branch in Rolands tree or
the maintainer to clone Rolands tree and publish their branch 
so that we can get to all the latest code for OFED releases or 
just general OFA testing of the code in development. 
Dec 4 is a great goal, but we really need the maintainers to 
commit to a date when then can be ready. 

my 2 cents,
