Re: [rap-dev] Git migration starting

[Ralf Sternberg <rsternberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The git repositories have been created and look ok [1]. We have one
repository for RAP itself [2] and one for the tools [3]. At some
points the migration tool created an "interesting" structure to
maintain the history. I fixed this where it was obvious and easy to
correct, some remaining places are funny but harmless. All .cvsignore
files have been removed and .gitignore files have been added as
needed.

I think we can consider the migration successful and carefully start
using the git repositories. Please have a look at the repositories
soon and check if you can spot any potential problems. Since we're
approaching RC1, we won't make large commits anyway and have some time
to adjust and find a suitable workflow.

Some obsolete bundles have not been migrated. We will create an
"obsolete" repository, just to have those contents available in the
unlikely case some of this stuff is ever needed again when nobody can
remember how to access a CVS repository ;-)

The CVS has already been switched to read-only mode. Next week we will
adjust our builds to checkout from git, update the website etc.

Happy that we did it :)
Ralf
