Since we're on git now... to avoid confusion like this in the future (not just from PMC/committers who may not have touched the code in awhile, but also from users looking for the source)...
I think it would be useful to do what Thrift did, and replace the existing source branches in SVN with a README (https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/thrift/README?view=log). The SVN history will still be there, and people will still be able to reference tags, just like with thrift (https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/thrift/tags/thrift-0.8.0/?pathrev=1419982). I'm personally in favor of removing all of {trunk,branches,contrib,tags} with a README, but if people insist on {tags} remaining behind, I'd settle for replacing only the other three. (Technically, the tags are still there... at the version they were created... which is the only reliable way of referencing a tag in SVN anyway... so that's why I don't mind removing them in SVN HEAD). To make things easier on passers-by, we can document in the README, the last commit that occurred in SVN, and provide a viewvc link directly to that, and can also provide the svn command to check out that revision. Removing these paths from the SVN will help resolve any confusion about where our current development activity is taking place. -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 8:14 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Josh. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Josh Elser" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 8:09:36 PM > Subject: Re: SVN or GIT > > No, SVN is not an option for main Accumulo development. > > The CMS site is still hosted on SVN, that's why the SVN info is still > there at all.
