Hi.
based on the discussion in thread "XML files are binary" and herberts
comments I had a chat with jfarrell (the infra git specialist).
We can have a GIT Read/Only mirror very easy (standard)
We cannot have a GIT Read/write mirror (restriction from infra)
We can switch completely to GIT (which I for one would be against).
can you share your thoughts against a complete switch with us. I am at
least interested to learn more about others opinion.
of course.
I think there are still plenty of svn users out there, and switching
completely away from svn, would be a larger change for them.
It was a big change for me to switch TO svn when OpenOffice moved to
Apache. I managed. Others managed. I think a move to git will be
manageable, too.
At the moment (but this might just be me), branches in GIT works real bad
with our current build system. I have f.x. 3 branches and trunk, all being
build more or less daily. I tried with GIT, where branch switching is
supposed to be very simple. The branch switch itself is simple, but I
always needed a complete build --all, because the GIT do (of course not)
preserve the different unxlngx6.pro dirs.
I agree, using branches like that work not well with OpenOffice. I
don't think that that is necessarily a problem of the build system, but
caused by the amount of code that has to be recompiled.
But you don't have to work like that. Instead of creating branches
(which still works well for little changes, eg test changes of one file
on its own branch) you can create clones. That is how I currently
work. I have one local git mirror of our svn repository and a couple of
clones of that git mirror, where I make changes. That works quite well.

We talk here about "trunk" our real code repo only. Everything else can
continue to be in svn.
That would be a problem, how will you do merge back ? The merge facility in
both directions is very important.
If we switch to git, svn will be a ReadOnly mirror and we cannot do merge
etc. in svn.

I recommend to reopen ticket 5590 with a comment asking for a read/only
mirror. Jfarrell is right now (this week) working through git issues, so
if
we can reopen the ticket fast, I can help jfarrell make this happen fast.
@herbert, if nobody objects will you reopen the ticket, or should I ?
