I certainly can't speak for the respective mentors, but I feel that "use bazaar" really isn't the right answer to "can I get commit access?" One motivation for GSoC is also community bonding, and having the mentor (but not only the mentor) comment on the proposed changes, and monitor the progress of the project. That the development branch sits on the student's laptop doesn't really help in that process. Instead, the student would have to push the branch somewhere to a web-visible location. Now I question whether it's the student's obligation to find a server himself, or whether the mentoring org should provide the infrastructure (or, failing that, Google (*)). So I think an answer to the question above involving bazaar might be "yes, but please don't commit to subversion, but only to the bazaar repository".

Hi Martin,

What is the point on having a branch in the svn repo if you won't be able to commit ? Maybe I misunderstood what you said, so maybe could you clarify that answer ?

Regards, Martin (*) FWIW, Google does provide the infrastructure; students are encouraged (required?) to commit their work to code.google.com.

It is required to submit the "final and complete" work done during GSoC to a project under code.google.com. That project will be automatically created after gsoc ends. But yeh, we could create another project there to use as a repo for the summer.

And thank you, James Tauber, effbot and everyone else that accepted me as a student this year too. I guess I should create a new thread to introduce myself and my project =)

Thanks,
