Due to public demand, the official main repository for PiTiVi is now git.gnome.org/pitivi instead of git://git.pitivi.org/git/pitivi.git
This has many advantages:
- It reduces confusion.
- It prevents potential contributors from thinking we’re a dead project or something. We’re a killer project, that’s completely different.
- No need to manage two “official” repositories (one for development and one for translations) anymore. No more strange merges to sync the repositories.
- Those who want email notifications can subscribe through GNOME’s “commits-list”
- We don’t have five times the word “git” when we do a clone of pitivi. You know, we were worried that people were not aware of the fact that they’re using git, turns out that’s not the case 😉
- People might stop thinking that this is some kind of French conspiracy. Well, many contributors are francophones and we do have plans for world domination, but that’s entirely unrelated.

Great move. I am myself getting a new git clone of PiTiVi, which is the first step of the journey 🙂

There is no French conspiracy.
\o/
Of course not. There’s only a Swedish conspiracy, the French have nothing to do with it.
Just wanted to thank you for the much-needed laughs. 🙂
