Hi Peter,
no, I don't think you fucked up your gitfiletree metadata. But the
explanation is a bit complex.
First thing is that you are looking at a git generated metadata... So
what you're asking for (regenerating from git) is already what you are
looking at :)
Second is that gitfiletree walks your git log to rebuilt the version
history. So, I guess that if you look at your git with something like
gitg, you will recognize all the versions coming along the diagram lines.
It is linked a bit in the way gitfiletree reads through the merges in
the git history. I was surprised by that effect, I had a look and yes,
there is a good reason for having this done in that way, even if it is a
bit surprising at first. Don't remember the exact reasoning... but it
was linked to the way git links commits to directories and how merge
points appear.
If you want to explore that part of GitFileTree, it is in
GitFileTreePackageEntry>>buildInfoWith:startingAt:version:ancestry:.
The ghost changes are something else, however. Can you elaborate?

Hi,
it seems that I managed to completely fuck up my gitfiletree metadata...
e.g.:
Ancestors: DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.148, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.93,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.144, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.146,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.92, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.142,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.140, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.138,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.139, DynaCASE-bliznjan.127, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.137,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.125, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.126, DynaCASE-bliznjan.123,
DynaCASE-bliznjan.121, DynaCASE-bliznjan.120, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.119,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.117, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.115, DynaCASE-bliznjan.113,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.111, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.110,
DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.108, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.102, DynaCASE-bliznjan.95,
DynaCASE-bliznjan.98, DynaCASE-PeterUhnak.91
I am also starting to see a lot of ghost changes etc.
Now, someone mentioned that it would be possible to delete all the
.version and methodProperties.json and whatnot and generate it directly
from git.
So my question is, is this possible? If yes, how? If no, what would need
to be done (implemented) to make it so?
Or at least is it possible to completely regenerate all the metadata
purely from git? (To clean up all the mess until.)
Peter
