From: Diva Canto <[email protected]> I know this has been discussed a few times before, but the automatic tags on every git commit are becoming a heavy burden. Today we talked again about stopping doing that. But rather than stopping the tags without replacement, a suggestion has been made to provide a web page that converts from git hashes to build numbers, so that everyone can still have an idea of sequential line of development.
The r/29250 style sequential labels do provide a way to be able to identify commits or versions in date order - useful to trace through changes and identify where problems might have been introduced. It is also possible then to refer to such dated/sequential build points in Mantis issues and them make sense to other reporters.
I appreciate for the Git-technoliterati this may be easy from the Git hashes themselves and using the Git tools.. but for mere mortals it would be helpful to have some way to continue to refer to commits or builds in sequence/date order. @Diva mentions the possibility of some sort of converter... but done one at a time that might still be difficult to trace back when finding where issues were introduced. I have sometimes worked backward through twenty of more OpenSim viewgit pages trying to trace where issues arise.
But of course if the overhead of keeping the r/ style tags is a real problem that has to be the main factor in going forward.
