I am seeing with increasing frequency questions on mailing lists on how to use git to publish software releases to Amazon EC2. The solutions posted typically involve a cron job on the EC2 instance that performs a "git pull" every N minutes. The problem with this approach is that the state of the file system is not consistent while the pull operation is in progress. AFS readonly volumes of course solve the problem.
If someone wants to write an article in the wiki on using OpenAFS with continuous integration systems, I believe it could gain a significant audience. Jeffrey Altman
