A bit OT but I was wondering how something like aries with lotsa tiny subprojects would work in git and I think the answer is git submodules,
http://schacon.github.com/git/user-manual.html#submodules each bundle would be an independent git repo and we'd also have a master project with the current directory structure (maybe missing the parents....dunno) and each bundle project would be a git submodule. IIUC checking out the master project would check out all the subprojects at their "trunk" HEAD revision. This seems sort of attractive to me since it matches the expected release behavior better. But, I guess it will be at least a few months before we can try it. thanks david jencks On Nov 16, 2011, at 6:28 AM, Daniel Kulp wrote: > > Just an FYI that Jukka resolved INFRA-4126 which should allow the Aries git > mirror to work again. > > However, he had to disable tracking of tags in the mirror.
