Re: [linuxtools-dev] Proposing a single git repository for the project
|
> I propose we retain one repository.
As it turns out, we have one svnroot but multiple "repositories"
underneath due to the separate trunk/branches/repos directories. I
still think having a single git repository is a good idea because:
1. it makes getting new contributors easier (a single URL)
2. it makes release engineering easier (a single URL)
3. it allows for easier sharing of code between sub-projects
4. it's easier to split out repositories later than it is to join them :)
That being said, I've used svn2git [1] to create git repositories and
I'm experimenting with the best way to merge multiple repositories. For
now I've put the *EXPERIMENTAL* sub-repositories up on GitHub:
https://github.com/overholt/repositories
Please note that these are just experiments and are not tracking SVN. I
*WILL TAKE THEM DOWN* once we've got our stuff into its canonical place
at git.eclipse.org.
For now I invite committers to play with these repositories and do
things like:
. verify history is intact
. verify branches and tags are correct
. get more comfortable with git if you're not already
Yes, I realize eclipse-build isn't there yet but I'll get it up today.
Thanks,
Andrew
