move FiPy to distributed version control #287

guyer · 2014-09-19T21:32:55Z

Distributed version control is the future (and has been for a couple of years already).

The scientific Python community seems to have settled on [http://git-scm.com/ git].

We should briefly evaluate the alternatives ([http://mercurial.selenic.com/ Hg], [http://bazaar.canonical.com/en/ bzr], ...) and then make the move.

Update the docs to reflect git usage:

update USAGE.txt
update ADMINISTRATA.txt
add ADMINISTRATA.txt to the web docs
remove SVN.txt
add GIT.txt
maybe just merge GIT.txt into ADMINISTRATA.txt and release that.

Closing this. Forgot to add the "fixes" keyword so closing manually.

fipy/documentation/ADMINISTRATA.txt has errors that prevent building and uploading the docs.
