Emacs git conversion is done
<p>Finally.  After ten months of work, it&#8217;s done.  Emacs is fully converted to git. You can clone from git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git and if you have commit rights you can push to it and the changes will stick.  The bzr repo is still up but only as an archive.</p>

<p>Technically, this was reposurgeon&#8217;s finest hour.  I&#8217;ve never done a conversion this big and messy before, as I noted in <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=5634">Ugliest…repository…conversion…ever</a>.  I had to write major new features to handle the job.  I guess the most obvious of these is the macro facility.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t expect to have to do one this difficult again.  I fervently <em>hope</em> not to have to do one this difficult again.</p>
<p>As I wrote in <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=5211">Dragging Emacs Forward</a>, my hope is this will let some light and fresh air into Emacs development. New talent, new ideas, revitalizing energy.</p>
<p>Happy hacking, everyone!</p>
