Hi WebKit,
I've been using a fork of the following repo:
https://github.com/WebKit/webkit
However, yesterday there was discussion on #webkit that the SHA-1 checksums
on this repo are different from repo at git.webkit.org, which means folks
working on both need to have both versions checked out.
I believe the reason for them being different is because in the github repo the
commit author fields are resolved.
That's correct. I'm the one running that mirror (along with the one at
gitorious.org/webkit), and the import is done using an author-script
that resolves author names and emails for a nicer history. The commit
objects will be different, hence the different sha1s, but the tree and
blob objects are the same.
In what situation does this cause issues?
I'd like to keep the github/gitorious mirror with proper author names,
so is it perhaps an alternative to move the webkit.org mirror to use the
same author script? (which can also be cleaned up an improved to take
into account names from changlogs vs commit-queue, etc).
