Q: What about losing all our version history? A: A move to Google will mean we'll lose our version history, that's true.
Really? Migrating a CVS repository to a SVN repository is a "piece of cake" with cvs2svn. Once done, I would be very surprised if Google was not able to import an existing dump.
Personally, I can't imagine we'd want to roll back any of the code in either rel_2_2, dev_week or head.
Losing version history is not about being able to roll back but about being able to track modifications to know where a bug comes from, in my opinion. In any case, losing history is serious :-/ Concerning Google as SVN host, I think it is a good choice if you only consider the SVN repository. They indeed employ some Subversion developpers, such as Ben Collins-Sussman. They know Subversion as if they had made it ;-). In term of user interface and feature to manage a project, Google is far behind gna.org for example, but if Koha doesn't use the bugtracker or mailing-list... is that important?
