Hello All,
Infra has recently announced some changes relating to Git repos. Please do
note.
Excerpt from Infra communication:
First, If a forced commit is pushed, the subsequent commit email will contain
'[Forced Update!]' in the subject line. The hope here is that it draws extra
attention to the situation for a project community to be aware, and take
appropriate action if needed.
Second, we've changed the 'protected' portions of git to primarily focus on
refs/tags/rel - thus any tags under rel, will have their entire commit history.
This provides the provenance that the ASF needs for releases, while still
giving projects the ability to mold their repository in the way they see fit.
Thus when a release vote is successful - part of the release process should
become tagging the voted upon commit SHA under rel/ to make it indelible. ('#
git tag rel/v15.4.2 ' or something similar.)
Regards
Srikanth Sundarrajan
