In May 2010, development was interrupted by the infamous ''"coffee incident"'' which resulted in the loss of Curtis' home server hosting all of the FlightGear repositories<ref>James Turner (May 20, 2010). [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.games.flightgear.devel/60340/focus=60341 <nowiki>[Flightgear-devel]</nowiki> Re: Flightgear git repositories (was Re: GIT or CVS - Confusion)] Published on the flightgear-devel mailing list.</ref>. These events resulted in a [[FlightGear CVS|mass migration of all the CVS repositories to Git repositories]]. Due to bandwidth issues, it was decided that the new repositories would be hosted on the Gitorious open source infrastructure. | In May 2010, development was interrupted by the infamous ''"coffee incident"'' which resulted in the loss of Curtis' home server hosting all of the FlightGear repositories<ref>James Turner (May 20, 2010).

With time as the project grew, the size and scope of the fgdata repository mushroomed, especially because of the growing number of aircraft stored in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft, so that a split was inevitable. Back in Oct 2011, the group decided to go with the git submodule approach, as lead by Gijs. However Gijs found a number of fatal issues with the approach, the exact same issues are actually currently found in the FGMEMBERS aircraft repositories, and there were enough voices on the list to stop with the git submodules and to search for an alternative, that ended up being SVN. Cedric was obviously not happy after spending so much effort on creating the full git submodule system with one repository per aircraft | With time as the project grew, the size and scope of the fgdata repository mushroomed, especially because of the growing number of aircraft stored in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft, so that a split was inevitable.
