History of MediaWiki version control/en

MediaWiki's source code history began in SourceForge's CVS version control system.

An extended outage of SourceForge's developer CVS service forced our hand to finally go ahead and set up our own source code repository as of April 1, 2006.

Between April 1, 2006 and May 31, 2007, the repository was hosted on Brion's offsite server (http://www.leuksman.com).

In March 2012, conversion of the existing Subversion repository to Git was initiated and completed in the following weeks.
