I use an "all" repository to (relatively) quickly get my hand on the sources of
all plugins.
I then do find/greps to look for interesting snippets.
The long time to check out is only a first time hit.
Subsequent updates are fairly fast:
git clone https://github.com/jyancey/jenkins-plugins.git
real 0m1.480s
git submodule init
real 0m32.763s
git submodule update
real 43m19.027s
git submodule update (there were no updates)
real 0m27.481s
Instead of having a tgz you could also consolidate all sources into a single
Git repository.
That would also allow for faster incremental updating.
But isn't the Git submodule approach meant to cover this?

Ah, interesting.
If this is something people want, we can get this automatically updated, too.
But I don't think this works for what I needed the all repository
originally for, which is searching across histories of plugins,
computing statistics about commits, etc. (git grep, git log -S, git
rev-list.)
I also suspect it'll take forever to check out, because it'd update
one repository at a time.
Maybe what would be useful is to have the tgz archive of the latest
source tree from all the plugins? This will let people do "grep -r".
I guess "what are you trying to use this repository for?" is what I'm
getting at.

A coworker of mine saw this and put this on GitHub
https://github.com/jyancey/jenkins-plugins
It uses proper Git submodules for each plugin.
git clone https://github.com/jyancey/jenkins-plugins.git
cd jenkins-plugins
git submodule init
git submodule update

Well, in fairness, that's a pretty arcane usage of git, so I wouldn't
feel too bad :)

Think of it as the union of all the repositories. There's no 'master'
branch in it --- it has all the refs from all the repositories.
See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Grepping+all+sources
for example.

Hi,
I wonder how to use the http://git.jenkins-ci.org/all.git repository
I cloned it, and expected it to have all jenkins repos as submodules,
but
this is not the case and I get an empty working copy, so wonder how you
use
it ?
