Please have a look at our new READ-ONLY git mirror.
That's great news, thanks! Kudos to Jake. Having a reference
git-repository will allow us to do some nifty things:
I'll prepare some git-packs with pre-AOO history from its older
Mercurial, Subversion and maybe even from its CVS-based open-source
ancestors. Using git's "graft" facilities this will make it much easier
to research the history of parts of the codebase where noone is left to
tell the story or its details. Having the individual commit comments and
their issue numbers is invaluable then.
Is there a gitweb or similar frontend to our git-mirror? Then we could
e.g. provide a link from the nightly builds to their respective version
history.
As expected in my JIRA-request the two-level deep svn-branches (i.e.
alg/aw080 and alg/sysdepgs) have been munged into one git-branch...
Also the symphony branch is missing because it was checked into svn at a
non-canonic location so the git-mirror couldn't pick it up.
Once everybody is happy, we can consider moving fully to GIT, I will
however recommend to it imidiatly after next release.
I'll have to adjust the svn2bz bot, we'll have to adjust the buildbots
and there are some other scripts that have to be updated before we can
think about a full switch.
But I look forward to git's proper author attributions, interactive
rebasing, intact individual commits after merges, nice cherry-picks, etc.
