Hi all-- We have discussed $subject before for other reasons without much action [0], so I want to bring it up again. Unless the situation has changed recently, Apache's Jira no longer links SVN commit messages to Jira tickets. For background on the issues with SVN, see [1]. This ticket is still unresolved.
The general linking of repo commits to Jira tickets through commit comments [2] is a good and virtuous thing. We have lost this in Airavata and need to get it back. This requires moving to Git [3] [4]. What other consequences are there for doing this? Let's please discuss. It will take a bit of time from INFRA to make the conversion, but this doesn't seem to be awful. We need to preserve history if we do this. What else? Thanks-- Marlon [0] https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03881.html [1] https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/SVN-385 [2] http://www.apache.org/dev/svngit2jira.html [3] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/ [4] https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20INFRA%20AND%20text%20~%20%22git%20svn%22
