a couple other things to be thinking about: - since we'll all be collaborating in a "mixed environment" of Windows and Linux and other, we need to be sensitive to Git settings for CR/LF handling when determining what files have changed
- since Git generally pulls down the whole repository, it would probably not be a great thing to have a single, ever-growing repository of all neo versions and branches and experiments. that could be a real disk space hog. we should come up with some reasonable convention for when to split repositories (major versions? X.Y versions?) All in all, I think it's a good idea, we just need to be aware of all the implications. -----Original Message----- From: user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org [mailto:user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org] On Behalf Of Rick Bullotta Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 9:25 AM To: 'Neo4j user discussions' Subject: Re: [Neo4j] Neo4j is moving to git I definitely understand the reason for wanting to use Git, with the more frequent forks and branches of late, but I do think it would be helpful to make snapshot builds *with source* available for download as ZIPs or TARs as well. For those of us on Windows, there are practical limitations to how many shell add-ins we can install (right now, I have to use CVS with Mozilla stuff, SVN with our hosted Atlassian JIRA system, and now it looks like I'll also need to use Git for Neo). -----Original Message----- From: user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org [mailto:user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org] On Behalf Of Tobias Ivarsson Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 9:10 AM To: Neo user discussions Subject: [Neo4j] Neo4j is moving to git Tomorrow, Friday January 28, we will freeze the Neo4j subversion repository (https://svn.neo4j.org/). >From tomorrow and forward Neo4j subversion will be a read only repository. The continued evolution of the code will move to a new location and a new version control system: git at github.com After the freeze of the subversion repository we will start moving the source code to its new location at https://github.com/neo4j Our hope is that with Github being the largest, fastest growing platform for social coding, it will lower the barrier for anyone wanting to contribute to Neo4j. Just fork us! The repositories should be fully available on Github at some point during the day tomorrow. Those of you who have signed our contributed license agreement will get a separate e-mail, where I'll ask you for your github username to add you to the list of contributors.
