Hi Vincent, No, we have not really loose history, but there is some breakage in the history path, not sure if this is related to svn import, or bad svn usage. I have not much time now for explanation, but the oldest I found so far is: commit 40bf74b9d8527ad8ff5cce036f90853645f254df Author: (no author) <(no author)@xwiki.com> Date: Mon Dec 15 09:13:33 2003 +0000 New repository initialized by cvs2svn. git-svn-id: https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/trunk@1 f329d543-caf0-0310-9063-dda96c69346f I gonna check this further later, and give more details. -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 5:33 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: Hi devs,
I was trying to find the oldest commit and couldn’t. Maybe we made a mistake while moving from CVS to SVN and then from SVN to Git at some point? On xwiki-platform, running “git log —reverse” gives me as the oldest: " commit fd92841151ac9d81da39babdb82516dbb7e4add7 Author: vmassol <[email protected]> Date: Fri Oct 13 13:57:10 2006 +0000 XWIKI-12: Reorganize directory structure to match Maven2 best practices and cleanup build * Started creating the core/ module and added the first version of a m2 build. * Please note that that the m2 is NOT working at this time as more work needs to be done to sort out the dependencies. * I'm committing this to show to everyone the path I'm taking, to gather comments and possibly help too... :-) git-svn-id: https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki/trunk/core@1387 f329d543-caf0-0310-9063-dda96c69346f “ But this is definitely not the oldest. There are commits from Ludo in 2003. We used to be able to see them in svnsearch but that service has been decommissioned. On https://web.archive.org/web/20130625112738/http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/XWIKI/search we can still see that there were 7 commits in Dec 2003 for example. So my guess right now is that we lost history at some point. Is that so? Thanks -Vincent
