Narrative:

During the taxi out, there was a discussion if a checklist was complete or not. The checklist was done again and my attention was diverted for a moment as we slightly rolled just across the hold short line. No aircraft were in the vicinity of dec. Tower cleared us for takeoff. We responded and complied. Contributing factors may have been the end of a long day of swapping 3 aircraft and missing lunch and breakfast. Conclusion: use better judgement.
