Git repositories behind SVN

[Paul Davis <pa...@gmail.com>]

It appears that git://git.apache.org/couchdb.git has fallen behind SVN
by a couple days. The last commit that made it to git is 6 days old.
There was a commit to svn trunk as recently as a couple hours ago so
its not for lack of activity.

Big thanks for making the git repositories available.

I will, thanks. I was mostly waiting for another pair of eyes to check
the configuration entry before committing it.

Sorry about that, it looks like the update cronjob was not yet working
properly. It should be fixed now, and the mirrors should now
automatically get nightly updates.

Projects can also get more frequent updates by subscribing the
git@git.apache.org address to their commit mailing lists. This
triggers updates to the relevant git mirrors whenever a matching
commit notification is received. Note that only a moderator (or a mail
admin) can add the address to a commits@ list, as the address won't
respond to the normal ezmlm confirmation requests.

I'm also looking for a good way to automatically get commit
notifications from all Apache codebases, so that all Git mirrors would
automatically get updated whenever the mirrored codebases are changed.
Once we have that, there's no more need for individual projects to set
things up with their commits@ lists.
