I’m not a bit expert, but if you don’t use “metadataless” format
everything works fine with monticello. I.e. each git commit
contains all the mc history.
yes, but with iceberg we did another choice: we force metadataless
and do not keep compatibility with monticello. this is like that by
design: keeping the metadata was too much noise and generated a lot
of conflicts we don’t want.
The metadata-less format was experimented with before Iceberg because we
knew that recreation of MC-compatible metadata out of the vcs log was
already working.
Then FileTree (and MC) was modified to make sure that the metadata-less
format would be compatible with MC.
Now, Iceberg has decided to be non-compatible with MC. But this has
nothing to do with the underlying format.
So, using iceberg is not using git as “just another repository format
as http, ftp, etc.”. If you want to keep both versions, then you
need to save in mc format then save again in iceberg (or viceversa).
Which looks clumsy at best and at worse, will make the transition to
Iceberg a pain.

My gut feeling is that it will be better not to mix git and
MC.
It is easy to make MC compatible with Git.
It wasn't that hard in the past, but needed a community effort
(MC being a core part of the system). Now, with the
infrastructure underway (libgit, git fast-import) it looks very
easy to implement.

Hello
Two days ago I was trying to send the slice with my fix to
PolyMath using Monticello. But the version number got set to
1494471195. Today I realized that all the packages to which I
commit are numbered like that.
Cyril Ferlicot explained to me that this happens when I mix git
and Monticello commits. He suggested that I use a separate
image for committing to GitHub, or file out/file in if there is
a lot of changes to commit.
Can this be considered a bug? Should I report it?
I think it would be causing problems for many people.
