And it took weeks of work to find a new home and to migrate everything.
Something you want to do again ?
If it had been only the git repo it would not have taken weeks. It took
weeks because there is a community, there are mailing lists and bug
tracker with extensive history. Both things git does not really provide
(I don't consider the github bug tracker a suitable tool for bigger
projects).
In git everyone has the full repo locally as well, as long as it is
updated. You can do shallow copies in git, but they are not standard.
Standard for The ASF means something that we can bring to a juge, if
needed. This is quite complicated to guarantee if we don't have the main
repo in our walls.
which is difficult to understand, since there is no reason given for a
why and what exactly is missing. in other words: details.
[...]
Last, not least, we protect *committers* against any legal action,
committers being voted people. Being able to give access to a selected
number of person who have signed a CCLA/ICLA is a key for The ASF,
something you are not likely to be able to enforce in github (and if you
can, again, we have no guarantee we can control such protecion for ever)
Well, following this strictly we should never ever merge pull requests
from github
Why ? The committer who push such pull request does it under his own
responsability...
which means, that in such a project there is no protection for the
committer in the end
Hope it clarifies why we push commits to the ASF Git repository.
You mean clarifies why we have to push commits to the ASF Git
repository as primary repository.... and not really to be frank.
Sorry, but I don't see what is your problem them, beside some
philosophical aspects...
As long as there is no comparable tool for pre-commit reviews and easy
usage on ASF, there is a practical acceptance problem. That's all.
