Here is David@Infra's note about the missing history in the flex-utilities git repo.
I think we should accept the repo as it is and move ahead. Any objections? We can go back to SVN for any history that is missing. I doubt we would need that because it was the early days of the Installer project and I am pretty sure that there is anything mission critical there. Thanks, Om -------- David Nalley commented on INFRA-5549: ------------------------------------- Okay folks: I tried running through utilities 2 more times - came up with the same result. Here's the issue - because there are differences in how git and svn handle branches and tags, when we look to convert a SVN tree we have to specify a layout. (e.g. where tags, branches and trunk, live in the tree) The problem is that on August 15 the tree layout was changed [1], which is the expected layout - so prior to that layout existing, in the eyes of the migration process nothing existed in that repo. In short - that layout change essentially (from a git perspective.) restarted history. (BTW - Paul Davis provided the sanity to catch this problem, many thanks for that.) Let me know how you want to proceed with this. [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1373617 --------
