Обсуждение: GIT repo broken
Hi, I noticed the other day that the branches in the GIT postgresql.git repository do not contain any patch after it was released. For example, in http://git.postgresql.org/?p=postgresql.git;a=shortlog;h=REL8_3_STABLE the last commit is on 2008-02-12. For example this commit is not there: http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/nls-global.mk?rev=1.14 What's going on here? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

Huh, this seems to make the repo a non-starter for any serious work. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

I'm not entirely sure that is true though it certainly looks that way from
initial start. I've been messing around with the ppa repo on some other git
providers and I have repos that seem to have all of my branches... need to do
a bit more legwork to determine if it is all actually working though.

Just to follow up, I have managed to get all of the branches / tags from the
PPA tree into a git repo. Now, this used my local git tools and tools of a
git hosting service, so it is possible it wont work with the postgresql.org
tools, but I think all the versions are the same, so hopefully it should.
Still no sudo for me, so poke me on irc and we can do some testing.

I think the tool does handle branches, it just broke somewhere along the way and now it doesn't continue. It has been suspected that this happens when the git-cvs update happens while an rsync of the CVS repository is in progress, owing to the nonatomic nature of CVS. We should probably rebuild the Git repository sometime, but everytime you do that all the commit IDs change, and I haven't had the enthusiasm yet to give users a proper recipe for dealing with that, e.g., pulling and merging or rebasing to adjust existing clones to the upstream. If someone has an idea how to deal with the latter, I'd appreciate that.
