Hi All, I'm considering a change to the way GAR handles upstream repos. This is a result of dealing with an upstream gitorious repo for the first time. It seems that the remote .git repo name is typically mainline.git. While they do offer $project.git too, they're not always identical.
The change that I'm proposing is to always store the local copy of the repo as $(GARNAME).git instead of basically doing $(filename $(GITREPO)) (eg: git://github.org/someproj.git -> someproj.git). In my dealings, the url generally contains $(GARNAME).git already, which is why the code 'is the way it is' now. I don't think this will hurt anything, and it removes the conflict of names if multiple gitorious repos are tracked. The only possible downside I can think of is that more 'smarts' would be required in the case that a single GAR project tracks multiple sources, and more than one are git repos. Will this change negatively impact anyone else?
