The following is a summary of the previous discussions and the concerns
raised. It is an attempt to get all the information in one place so we
can agree on whether or not we want to migrate to git.
1. This is purely a decision about the version control system we use.
Other changes to the development process (Ant/Maven/Gradle or
Bugzilla/Jira) are out of scope for this discussion but free free to
start another thread to discuss other changes.
2. We would migrate to a two git repo that - initially would have the
following mapping to the current svn repo:
tomcat git repo
trunk -> master
tc7.0.x/trunk -> 7.0.x
tc6.0.x/trunk -> 6.0.x
tc8.0.x/tags -> git tags
tc7.0.x/tags -> git tags
tc6.0.x/tags -> git tags
tomcat-native git repo
native/trunk -> master
native/branches/1.1.x -> 1.1.x
native/branches/tags -> git tags
The trunk/bayeux and trunk/tomcat-lite modules would be excluded from
the migration
3. site has to remain in svn for now
4. archive and sandbox would remain in svn
5. Development would take place on master and be cherry-picked to
branches as required.
6. The configuration diffs used in the migration documentation would be
provided via GitHub's compare too
7. Drop reviewboard in favour of commenting on GitHub pull requests.
8. The current svn external from native to trunk would be implemented
using git sub-modules.
9. Configure git commit e-mails to include the diff in the body
The following are still TBD
1. mod_jk
Does it migrate to a third git repo or remain in svn?
2. taglibs
Does it migrate to a third git repo or remain in svn?
3. maven-plugin
Does it migrate to a third git repo or remain in svn?
4. sandbox/trunk-maven-layout
Is there a way for this to continue if we migrate to git?
I think I have captured everything. Feel free to add things and/or
respond to the points above so we can see how close we are to consensus.
