["Alex Harui (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-8302?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14518358#comment-14518358 ] 

Alex Harui commented on INFRA-8302:
-----------------------------------

We have finally decided on a plan.  It is as follows:

flex-utilities.git will keep the following (for now)
ApacheFXG
FXGTools
MD5Checker
MobileTrader
CodeCoverage


Then create more repos as follows:
flex-installer.git:
ant_on_air
Common
Installer
installerBadge
installerLocaleEditor


flex-maven.git:
Maven-flex-plugin
Mavenizer


flex-squiggly.git
Squiggly


flex-pmd.git
FlexPMD


flex-tdf.git
TourDeFlex


flex-tdf-mobile.git
TourDeFlex Mobile (from flex-examples.git)

Thanks,
-Alex

> The flex-utilities repo originally came from SVN.  Being new to Git, we added other small projects to the repo and are now realizing that we should probably just have more repos with single projects in it.
> I opened this issue first to track what our options are, if any, in splitting the repo.  We want to retain history for the files related to a project, but prune out files and history that are unrelated.
> I see there is a 'git subtree split' option that requires git version 1.7.11.  One potentially complicating factor is that at the top-level of flex-utilities are 3 or folders that we want to move together into a single new repo.  It isn't clear that 'subtree split' supports that.  I suppose we could 'git mv' the folders into a top-level folder first.
> We don't have the final list of what we want split yet.  We'll decide on that once we understand our options.
> Thanks,
> -Alex
