The showstoppers other than documentation have been cleared from the conversion issues list. That includes the issues blocking documentation, so doc work is underway again.
The 1.55 release is scheduled for November 4, and as of the moment it doesn't look like that will sip much if at all.
I'm assuming that we want to reopen svn branches/release for a week or so after 1.55 ships as some developers would like to merge pending changes to branches/before the switchover.
That would mean an actual switchover starting about November 11.
Since the release has been delayed, I changed the git transition to begin on Friday 15th, to allow for a week. Is that okay? Any better ideas?
