[cctbxbb] Git status update

[Paul Adams]

Hi Markus,

  sorry for the delay - too much going on. Thanks for drawing up the plan. I think this is great. However, I’m a little worried about the timing. The Phenix release is well on its way, but may run into the Sept 14th transition deadline (if bug fix updates are required). It might be good to push the move back a couple of weeks to be sure. Note that many of the Phenix developers will be in Cambridge the week of the 14th, which might be an opportunity to get together in person. My other comment about the plan is that it all seems down to you at the minute - which I’m fine with but seems a bit unfair! I encourage others on the list to see how they can help.

  Cheers,
	Paul
