Matt and Jacob - it seemed that between you you'd kind of done most of
the leg-work for getting Leo's VCS history in one place and moving it
to git - I'm not saying we should move right now, but just wondering
how high the barrier is, not very, perhaps?
On my end, I haven't actually converted the history to a git repo, but
rather just set up a nightly mirror
(http://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor, iirc). This setup is roughly
equivalent to Terry's nightly snapshots -- all the work on Leo from the
past day is pushed to the github mirror as a single commit... this makes
undoing granular changes difficult if not impossible, when working from git.
Matt's link looks very handy... the method seems sound and dead simple,
with the (imo, desireable) side effect of pruning duplicate branches
from the tree...
The whole purpose of the nightly github mirror at this point is for the
ReadTheDocs nightly documentation build. If we make
leo-editor/leo-editor the actual development repo, I'm fairly certain
that the ReadTheDocs setup wouldn't break at all. In either case, I
could fix that if it did.
So, to sum up, after a bit of testing with the method posted by Matt, I
imagine we could switch to github whenever Edward, Terry, Ville, and
anyone else with write permissions would be comfortable with the switch.
Of course, then comes the problem of permissions, such as who has write
access to the repo (currently everyone in the leo-editor organization is
an owner, so we all have write access), but that's easily sorted out as
a part of the transition.
Exciting times!
