> > - a discussion about moving a smalltalkhub repository to git while > preserving history
I've migrated some time ago http://forum.world.st/moving-to-git-and-preserving-monticello-history-td4806386.html some (if not all) of the issues were resolved iirc, however since I didn't need to migrate since then I don't know the current status. - a discussion about which process to follow in which conditions > (should I use GitFileTree or FileTree?) Please note that GitFileTree didn't reliably work under Windows (problems with ProcessWrapper or something; crashing a lot), don't know the current status. However from practical standpoint: * with GitFileTree each MC commit inside Pharo creates a Git commit, so if you change X packages within a single repo, you get also X git commits * with FileTree you could pack them together more tightly but you need to commit to git explicity. but otherwise I don't see much practical difference - what happens if a Metacello description loads a project hosted in git > but I still want to be able to hack on this dependency. So, this > dependency should not be read-only for me This is in my eyes very messy.... you could either add the package to a repository after you have loaded your project, or lock local repos... but it's quite a pain to keep everything in sync... but I didn't have time to simplify my workflow here yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "GitFileTree" Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo50/main'; configurationOf: 'GitFileTree'; loadDevelopment.
