There are a couple of things I think should happen ASAP once the git repository is up, but weren't mentioned in Magnus' plans:
1. The various .cvsignore files need to be replaced by .gitignore files. I am not sure though whether this is a trivial conversion --- does git have similar default rules about ignoring .o, etc? 2. One thing I will miss from the removal of $PostgreSQL$ tags is that they guaranteed that every file contained its own full pathname within the source tree. I found myself using that an awful lot, mainly as a source for copying-and-pasting file paths. To substitute for the tags, I would like to propose a project standard that every file contain its pathname in the header comment, not just the bare filename which is the de facto standard at the moment. For example, instead of /*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * plancache.c * Plan cache management. we should have /*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * src/backend/utils/cache/plancache.c * Plan cache management. Whatever we do with the .cvsignore files will need to be back-patched into all active branches, but I am not so anal-retentive as to wish to back-patch the pathname comment changes.
