Can a git hook be used for this?

It would be useful to describe the development model (e.g. how =
major/minor
features get added etc), how to maintain multiple local branches (e.g.
release branch or -current) or working on more than one feature at a =
time etc.

Do you plan to move to something like the github review process?

When is the cutover supposed to occur?

The cgit-beta.FreeBSD.org and github trees are not identical the last
time I looked (mainly in meta data). Any reason for not keeping them
identical? I switched from the github tree to the cgit-beta tree.

FWIW, I have used sccs, rcs, cvs, subversion, mercurial, git & a few =
more.
I have used git exclusively for the last few years. I felt more =
comfortable
with git once I understood the on-disk storage model. The Pro Git book =
is
pretty good for that & more.

Thanks,
Bakul=
