Vladimir Sitnikov created XALANJ-2671:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Source code history lost in "clearing all contents" +
"updating master branch, to have same contents as..." commits
Key: XALANJ-2671
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2671
Project: XalanJ2
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone (Ordinary problems in
Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.)
Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov
Assignee: Gary D. Gregory
I just noticed that the following commits virtually erased all the code
history, and they made it way harder to use git for analysis of the changes.
I would suggest stopping further commits to the branch that contains "clearing
all + updating all" changes, and start over from a reasonable branch.
Please, take this seriously. It is really crucial to keep git annotate in a
good shape, otherwise bug analysis becomes extremely hard.
0affa12bb12e45bf681a6e6a918d68884d7e1877 "clearing all the project contents
from the xalanj master branch"
356ce496faa80d97ae8a8406e37f6bd994b39233 "updating master branch, to have same
contents as the branch xalan-j_2_7_1_maint"
For instance, if you check "git blame" for DocumentCall.java, you'll find that
"every line was added only 2 months ago":
https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/blame/master/src/org/apache/xalan/xsltc/compiler/DocumentCall.java
I am afraid the above commits are showstopper for further activity on the
branch.
git blame on xalan-j_2_7_1_maint branch looks much better:
https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/blame/xalan-j_2_7_1_maint/src/org/apache/xalan/xsltc/compiler/DocumentCall.java
Since there were no releases on the master branch since the bad commits, I
would suggest removing the commits from the repository completely.
It is fine from the ASF policies, and it would be great to kill the commits as
having commits that modify 400'000 lines make Git history hard to browse in
various tools.
Please remove those commits as they make history browsing, and error analysis
hard.
