Hello everyone,
There's been some informal discussion in #php.doc on EFnet about how the
transition from Subversion to Git will be achieved, and what the
resulting
structure will look like.
We can't use submodules.
Submodules in git reference a specific commit, not "last commit" like
it does in svn by default.
If we use git submodules in means;
Every time we update doc-base, you have to update the submodule in
_all_ translations to the last commit and commit the change.

Hi Hannes,
I was actually thinking of that issue, and thought that it would be a simple
matter to use a client-side post-checkout hook to run "git submodules
foreach git pull". That'd update each submodule.
Not sure of the specifics in that regard, but I can't think of any other
solution to that problem than submodules.
Debugging client side post hooks is not something I want to even think
about when debugging why some translation doesn't work.
And, using this model, you would need to have 100 checkouts of
doc-base if you have 100 translations locally.
I would rather recommend that you simply have to do an explicit
doc-base checkout and update, not bundling.
Also, what worries me more is the way we determine if a file is
up2date or not. git doesn't have these sort of keywords and the idea
of bumping the files revision manually has been rejected several times
(although not in this context, the idea was to eliminate the
translators need to bump their version on english typo and ws fixes).

Hi Hannes,
There's not much difference between the way that Subversion does
svn:externals automatically, and scripting it with hooks in git. I mean,
if you do have a better idea, I'm definitely all-ears, because I've been
racking my brain for one. :P
As for doing svn:keywords, I've already pretty-well solved that.
https://github.com/TheFrozenFire/git-rcs-keywords
That's a fork of a solution which uses clean and smudge filters, which
I've modified from using Perl to using PHP. It's still in the works, but
it's a reasonable solution to a complicated problem.
Thanks,
Justin Martin
