[Halld-offline] check in your hdds and sim-recon SVN changes by Wednesday, we are converting to Git

[Paul Mattione]

Going along with this, we’ve decided to move the locations of the plugins folders in svn prior to porting to git.  This means that any changes to ANY of the online-monitoring or sim-recon plugins must be committed to svn by 5pm MONDAY.  Then just prior to the move to git, we’ll move the plugins to new folders:

online plugins                                                 ->    sim-recon/src/plugins/monitoring/
sim-recon/src/programs/Utilities/plugins        ->    sim-recon/src/plugins/Utilities/
sim-recon/src/programs/Analysis/plugins      ->    sim-recon/src/plugins/Analysis/
sim-recon/src/programs/Simulation/plugins   ->    sim-recon/src/plugins/Simulation/

There was a consensus among those at the meeting in favor of the change. I outlined a plan for making the switch which I am reproducing below. Also a copy of my talk is on the DocDB:

If you have changes that exist only in personal directories, they will not make the transition to Git (at least not easily) unless they are checked into our Subversion repository before we make the switch. Please allow yourself some time between now and Wednesday to look over your directories and decide which changes should be checked-in and which can be discarded.

Also note that hdds and sim-recon themselves will live on as they are under Subversion. These two will just slowly go out of date and should not be used for new check-outs.
