I played with this a little bit last night. If I use the commit where we did the “maven release:prepare” for 2.1 (first major release out of the incubator) as the base for a graft point and removed the 2.0.x tags and branches (they’ll still exist in SVN if we ever need them) and the “celtix” tag from prior to doing the changes from celtix -> CXF, and then do a: git filter-branch --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all (takes a couple hours to run) to clean up the branches and remove all the “empty commits” which are created when the svn properties are updated for the merges and such, the “.git” dir drops from about 150MB down to 51MB. Also, the “git log 2.7.x-fixes” looks better without all the “blocked XYX” commits and such. If created a test repo at my github account: https://github.com/dkulp/cxf-test if you want to clone it and take a look at the various branches and tags and such. If we decide to move to git (which I don’t see any objections so far), I would propose that we use that process as the starting point for the official git repo instead of taking the full svn dump version we have right now on the mirror. It’s a bit smaller and cleaner. The downside is for the files that have existed since 2.1, a “git blame” and log and such will only go back to 2.1. Blame will list me as the person for any lines that have existed since 2.1 (since I did the “release:prepare” for 2.1 and all the commits prior to that are squashed up into there). We could go back a little further than 2.1 if we feel it’s overly important. Or, we could even move up to 2.2 or later if we feel it’s not at all important. :-) -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] - http://dankulp.com/blog Talend Community Coder - http://coders.talend.com
