Oops. Thanks for reminding me. I've updated the community page on
couchdb.a.o. I'll have to poke at gitweb a bit more to figure out the
best way to customeize the gitweb page.

The writable Git repository is now live (finally).

Non-committers can clone with:

$ git clone http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git

And committers can clone with:

$ git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git

Tickets related to bugs with Git @ the ASF should be directed to the
Git component on the INFRA JIRA project which can be found here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA/component/12312655


Of special note, I remembered to switch the origin's HEAD to master
this time so every thing is now done with the normal Git conventions.
This shouldn't screw up any checkouts but people relying on tracking
should update their local configurations so they keep getting commits.
And of course, committers should push commits to master and not trunk.

Apologies for the delay between my promised completion and now.

Starting the Git Experiment (for realz)

2011-09-29 Thread Paul Davis 
Dear committers,

We now have a green light from the ASF to switch to using Git as our
writable VCS. This is to be considered a live experiment. If something
breaks its possible we'll have to revert back to SVN. But nothing will
break and everyone will forgive me for any bugs that may crop up.

Seeing as there were no objects the last time we voted to make the
switch, I plan on cutting over to git in about 6 hours to give people
time to finish up anything they were doing in SVN. That means that at
roughly 10P CST, SVN will be read-only and the Git repository will be
the canonical source repository.

I should also note that the eyes of the ASF are upon us as we continue
with this experiment. There are a few expectations that everyone
should keep in mind as we start working with Git over the next few
months. First, we should be keeping notes on things that work and
don't work with Git. Periodically I'll ask for feedback on things we
should document. One of the major things that is expected of us is to
produce an initial set of best-practices that can be adopted by other
projects if/when Git is adopted more widely at the ASF.

Some random things that come to mind that I'd like people to consider
moving forward are suggestions on policies for when and where to push
commits (ie, branch naming policies, rate of pushing, policies for
merging back into trunk/release branches, etc). Also, best practices
for how we interact with users on GitHub and other Git hosts. This
includes things like asking for submissions in the form of JIRA
tickets instead of Pull Requests and so forth.

I think we already have answers to most of these points but we'll need
to have them written down as documentation so that if things move
forward we will be able to teach other projects how we use Git.

Also, thanks everyone for putting up with me as I try and get all of
the various pieces together. Hopefully the roughest roads are behind
us and we'll be getting our rainbows and unicorns here shortly.

Thanks,
Paul Davis

That's enough of a consensus for me. I'll ask for SVN writes to be disabled and 
bring up the new Git repo. I'll send emails when SVN goes down and Git comes

Oops, forgot that status update.

I reran the scripts for the mirrors on git.apache.org using the same version of 
git-svn I used to generate the last writable git repo. The result was that it 
calculated the same hashes as what we had so I feel comfortable blaming this on 
the different git-svn versions.

Bottom line, any project that already has a mirror on git.apache.org will just 
use that as the basis for the new writable repo so that hashes will are 
preserved.

+1 assuming the writeable repo has the same hashes as the current read-only 
mirror.

Starting the Git Experiment

2011-09-23 Thread Paul J. Davis 
Dear committers, 

We now have a green light from infrastructure to switch to using Git as our 
writable VCS. This is to be considered a live experiment. If something breaks 
its possible we'll have to revert back to SVN. But nothing will break and 
everyone will forgive me for any bugs that may crop up.

If there are no objections I would like to switch over soonish. Normally I 
would say Monday to give people a chance to respond to this email but we've had 
quite a few discussions on switching to Git already and no one has voiced 
opposition. Seeing as that's the case if I get a majority of +1's from the 
committers I'll start disabling SVN access as soon as I see the majority vote.
