Re: Git transition

 

Hi Maciej,

It would be a net benefit for the OS X builder for us to switch to git.
The Jenkins bzr plugin is not very good.  Usually when the OS X nightlies
stop for a few days, it is because the plugin got stuck updating and never
times out.  I tried to fix it upstream but there were issues.

It is not an emergency but it would be nice.
