Awesome. Really forking awesome. -----Original Message----- From: user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org [mailto:user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org] On Behalf Of Tobias Ivarsson Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 10:05 AM To: Neo4j user discussions Subject: Re: [Neo4j] Neo4j is moving to git
The general idea on forks is that they will be forks, not branches. I.e. they will live in a different location as a fork, not as branches in the same repository. We are going to continue managing dependencies with maven, so no dependency jars will ever be checked in in the repositories. We are going to have more than one git repository, the plan is to have one per releasable "product". This means that things in one repo will have the same release cycle. The initial repositories are quite likely going to be: * Embedded, containing these current components: - kernel - lucene-index - ha - management - udc - graph-algo * Server, containing the Neo4j server Then a separate repository for each Neo4j tool: Neoclipse and Neo4j shell Part of the exercise tomorrow is going to be to make sure that it is possible to work with the code on Windows since we are going to put more efforts into Windows stability of Neo4j in the future. CR/LF is going to be managed by the repository, as Toni has already mentioned is a possibility.
