Thanks for the answer.
To cloture the thing, it seems to me that "Stoneage IT" was more related about how the announce of conversion to git was done.
Did you remember the episode of fpc-Nabble that decides to stop to update the mailing list without any warning to nobody, even not user-maintainers?
And the effect that it did?
For such a big change, like moving to git, the minimum should have been to prevent every fpc-Mantis members, via a personal email of the change.
Note that personally, I am very happy that fpc moves to git, I never liked SVN, to much things to install, not friendly, etc...
And, like proposed many years ago, the advice of precious helpers should have more considerations.
fpc would never have survived until now without them.
They help giving their energy and time totally for free, without waiting for any medals.
They are the true heroes in fact.
Peace.
