We have a Trac instance that's been serving our svn repo for many years and we've been very happy with it. We've just converted to git, and we're using the Trac Git plug-in (http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin) with Trac 0.12 and it works; but everything's gotten a lot slower, and we're not sure Trac and the git model really get along very well yet. Our repo has around 7k files and around 17k commits total, so it's not huge. But the trac source browser takes upwards of 30-60 seconds just to display the top-level source dir! Most of that is related to filling in the metadata columns for each file (date, last rev, etc.) The timeline is slow too, because it also makes a *lot* of queries to git. We've made some simplifications, and things are OK now performance-wise, but it seems like there's still a lot to do.
Here's a few of the things that bug us right now: there's some mismatch between Trac's svn-like model of the world and git's; in the source browser, for instance, Trac asks for the youngest rev in the repo, but in git that could be on *any* branch -- so "Browse Source" sometimes takes you to master, and sometimes it takes you to some other branch. Tags don't show up in the timeline because the git plugin doesn't yet implement ITimelineEventProvider (we have a version of that in-house that works OK now). Previous/next change links are pretty senseless because they cross branches too (this is http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/1492). I'm wondering who else is using Trac with git repos? Are others working on fixing these same issues? It might make sense to work together or at least share experiences. Is it appropriate to post git-related bugs or suggestions to Trac anywhere, or should they all be considered GitPlugin issues? For comparison, how's the Mercurial side coming? Are people running non-trivial hg repos in Trac? Do they face similar model-mismatch issues? How's the performance? -- Gary Oberbrunner -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
