I think it should depend on when 2.24 is scheduled to be released. 2.23 was released end of Oct 2012. Tristan, are you planning on releasing 2.24 around that time as well? And what do you think of the suggestion to wait for the release? IIRC, you were telling me that a lot of the process was manual, so perhaps a switch to git wouldn't impact you as much for producing the release? Thanks, -- Joel
