Right, that commit will cause troubles with the mirroring... That solution may work for a time. But we could think about removing it completely from github (we have the bundle attached to COMMONSRDF-1 and the master branch history is alive in our current repo).

Sorry, I wasn't aware that Sergio had already created a commit to push
solely to GitHub. That will create two divergent Git histories if we
let it stay on the master branch, which will cause more confusion than
it is worth.

A workaround that I have just tried is to push Sergio's commit:

https://github.com/commons-rdf/commons-rdf/commit/911e33aa9d7442464b3e9c6df1f8899a35d0fd44

to a separate branch, "old-master-before-asf" and changed what GitHub
thinks the master branch to be that one so it is displayed.

Then I reset the master branch to remove that commit so it is
identical to the history in the ASF repository.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Sergio,

Are there plans to mark the github repo as read only and direct folks to
the ASF repos?  I see a link was added, but any plans to remove the code
from the repo?

John

I have been mirroring the code there over the weekend to ease the
transfer period for others and I changed the description to refer to
the ASF version.

What advantage would there be to wiping the code in the
commons-rdf/commons-rdf repository, given that it contains the same
root Git history as the ASF repository and hence is still compatible
as a source for cloning at this point. Not sure how to make a
repository read-only on GitHub, but that could be an option once an
initial transfer period is complete.

Cheers,

Peter
