Re: [eclipse-dev] [platform-releng-dev] eclipse.platform.ui Git reposito

[BJ Hargrave <hargrave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

receive.denyNonFastForwards=true
is a good idea.

However receive.denyDeletes=true
is not. It prevents people from sharing "feature" branches in
the repo and then deleting them when they are done.

At OSGi, we have a pre-receive hook
which allows committers to create and delete branches matching the pattern
*/* (e.g hargrave/myidea) but only admins can create or delete branches
w/o a /. This protects the main branches (master, next) from inadvertent
deletes (unless the admin screws up :-) while allowing all the committers
to share feature branches in the repo.

In any case, a branch is just a pointer
to a commit. If deleted, they can easily be recreated assuming the commit
has not been gc'd.

Do you know what caused the problem in the first place ? Are there any
things that others should keep in mind so that something of this sort does
not happen again?

To be honest I was a bit surprised that deleting branches was so 'easy'
with Git. Is it possible to disable this on git.eclipse.org especially
for
master and maintenance branches?

The UI team is now declaring that the eclipse.platform.ui Git repository
has been restored and is up and operational again.

You can now resume fetching/pulling as desired. Pushing is okay too...but
given that it is milestone week (and today is a test day), please do not
push anything to R3_development or R4_development unless you have discussed
the matter with Paul.

Once again, we would like to express our apologies for holding everyone
up.
Please do not hesitate to approach us with questions or inquiries about
this incident.

Regards,
Remy
