I like having several felix subprojects open in one eclipse instance at once, which the current svn structure facilitates. Having just one git svn rebase to run is nice. Is there a way to stitch together several smaller git repos that would work similarly? Not knowing how to do this, I am starting to lean towards one big repo.
FWIW, I’m hoping to move DS onto a gradle based build soon. thanks david jencks > On Oct 24, 2015, at 2:51 PM, Benson Margulies <[email protected]> wrote: > > Greeting, Marcel, > > It's not my intention to try to talk anyone into changing how they > release anything.
