March 19, 2012 at 22:40PHP developers switched to Git
Half a year after voting to switch to DVCS
and following the release of PHP5.4, the PHP development team moved from Subversion to Git.
The official announcement: www.php.net/archive/2012.php#id2012-03-20-1
First, all the sources of web resources were transferred, now it is time for the most important thing - php-src.
The main repository is located at git.php.net .
Since Git is a distributed version control system, no one bothers to use also Github and all its “social benefits”: github.com/php is the official mirror of the php repository on Github. You can fork and make a pull request.
But the move is not over yet - there is a complicated port to source documentation on Git ahead.
We kindly request once again not to arrange holivars on the topic of version control systems.
Each system has its advantages and disadvantages. Subversion has served the PHP community well, but things are changing, new tasks and goals are emerging.
