Howdy, I am down to our last two build tools in the migration to git. They are basically the same script:
mk_language_shell.pl creates a language that uses a Configure.pl and Makefile, while create_language.pl makes a setup.pir . They both have one operation that is totally dependent on Subversion, and that is: Compare two integer revisions to see if one is greater than the other. This cannot be done in git. It *is* possible to tell which of 2 git commits happened later, chronologically, but that requires the git repo. Our current tools expect to be able to compare a Subversion revision number, without access to the repo, and see if one is greater than the other. I remember pmichaud++ had some really good ideas about how to solve this issue. Any thoughts on how to solve this would be super-awesome.
