publish git repo of ant-trunk?
Hi all,
I'd like to propose that we publish a git repository of our svn repo as a trial.
Obviously this will require some support from infrastructure to
sanction the svn->git initial import.
* Why?
- svn + patch + bugzilla is less than optimal (but better than JIRA :)
- git merge/branches == super-easy
- git is faster by far
- enables more contributions (think antlibs here) without worrying
about granting commit access
A trend is developing where developers on OSS projects are seeing
limitations of svn/cvs and are looking at one of the dvcs available.
Obviously we would keep the svn repo for now, but a git repo would be
a backup with an eye towards moving to this model in the future
(should it prove successful).
What do you think?

It is just a feeling. Our infrastructure people are pretty much under
pressure and I doubt they'd want to add more on their plate.
Furthermore I don't know whether the ASF is ever going to use a dvcs -
and if we do, whether it would be git.
You could certainly ask the infra folks for a definitive answer.
It may be easier to setup a Solaris zone for Ant where a few of us
could get root access to host it there.

Why can't we use ASF hardware? I was thinking of using
people.apache.org to host - hence why infrastructure would need to be
involved

Darcs is very nice too - but not as fast as git (although you can use
darcs with a git backend somehow - haven't tried it yet.) There's an
eclipse plugin for darcs too which makes eclipse-users lives easier

As long as we don't do it on ASF hardware, why not.
I've started to use darcs myself, I like it better (less hype being
the main reason, I guess), but I'm open to git as well.

What would be required for that?

Depending on the situation regarding hosting. If we can host a new
repo on asf hardware, and infrastructure aren't worried about running
a time-consuming initial import, then I'd say the whole history. If
there's a problem then we can just go ahead with the latest revision.
