Go ahead and delete it, I don't know anything about it. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Oliver Bock Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 6:17 AM To: [email protected]; David Anderson (BOINC) Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] Git Migration Status On 7/19/12 5:53 , Nicolás Alvarez wrote: > * Not much change in the openness and transparency of the migration. > Was the conversion Oliver's one-man job?

We kept the mapping in a private list for the time being as it contains e-mail addresses. IMHO I could certainly put it up on Trac since those addresses are/will be public as soon as we publish the git repo anyway.

Please note that there's no 5.9 branch, just the 5.9.x tags in BOINC: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/boinc/branches The tag's not "hanging" since it got its correct parent: commit in boinccleaned.git: 97ecbabd (SVN r12591) parent in boinccleaned.git: b917e356 (SVN r12584) This reflects: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/log/boinc/tags/boinc_core_release_5_9_9 However, it got a second parent f8d47e0a that shows that the tagging in SVN had been tried/done a number of times, resulting in revisions 12585-12590. Those are the culprits: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12585/boinc http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12586/boinc http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12587/boinc http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12588/boinc http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12589/boinc http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12590/boinc There's nothing wrong with the migration here, it just reflects SVN's style of tagging/revisioning when a tag gets "reverted" and done again. r12591 was the final attempt and that's mapped correctly in git. > * The following work branches were not converted.

Already discussed a number of times and I fully agree with you. Nicolás, why don't you just go ahead, do it yourself and post the results? You can do this while we continue to have the discussion here and it should take you no time at all, right? I really don't care who does the migration and I'm not after any credit for doing this. I simply like to see BOINC migrated to git (as most of us do) so I stepped forward. You can take over at any time as long as you get things done.
