Ok, I went through this exercise for trunk as well as the 3.2.2, 3.1.4, 3.0.1, and 2.8.0 tags. There are two classes of differences: 1. Empty directories (created by SVN, ignored by Git). I think this is an improvement. 2. $Id$ expansion. There is a way to get a similar behavior (but not the same) with Git but that would require committing .gitattributes into every branch/tag. Also, the consensus seems to be that this is a bad idea (Linus calls it "totally idiotic" ;-)). So my preference would be to leave things as is (i.e., no expansion) and maybe clean $Id$ strings out later (we also have a few "CVS $Revision$ $Date$" anachronisms). For quick background on this (as well as what "not the same" above exactly means), see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/384108/moving-from-cvs-to-git-id-equivalent https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1792838/how-do-i-enable-the-ident-string-for-a-git-repository Other than that, the copies are identical. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: c-dev-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: c-dev-h...@xerces.apache.org
