GNU Common Lisp - News: GCL has moved to GIT

GCL has moved to GIT

GCL has moved to the git version control system.  The 2.6.8 and 2.6.9
branches and tags are identical in cvs and git.  Henceforward,
modifications will be made to git only.  As of the present writing, git
contains a merge of experimental into master, and a port of most 2.6.x
improvements into master.  This will form the basis of a 2.7.0 release
sometime in the future.

For those unfamiliar with git:

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gcl.git
cd gcl
git checkout master, or git checkout Version_2_6_9, etc.
cd gcl
./configure && make

git can of course provide much more.  I'm currently using Egg, an emacs
interface to git, with increasing success.  Merging, logging, bisecting,
branching, and uploading appear much simpler.  I recommend this tool to
would-be gcl contributors.
