I think this is an important point you make. Given that there are now a number of projects making heavy use of the cctbx (both using and contributing) with competing development and release schedules, the current paradigm of everyone developing on trunk is liable to cause problems. Moving to git should make things easier in this regard, although we would still have to agree on suitable working practices within the new system.<br>

<span class=""><br>
Personally I think moving the cctbx to git is a great idea as it would<br>
make it easier and safer when developing and testing new features. Given<br>
so many teams are using the cctbx this seems like a compelling reason<br>
for it to be moved.<br>
<br>
We had a chat a while ago with Berkeley about this but I've forgotten<br>
what the consensus was.<br>
