Hi Hazen: Earlier today I sent an e-mail to Brad King, the CMake git guru (with CC to you to keep you fully informed) asking how they implemented the enforcement hooks in their git repo to maintain the desired --first-parent properties of the integration branches used in their workflow. Assuming we adopt their workflow, then I think it is absolutely essential that we get these enforcement hooks in place before proceeding further with PLplot development using git so I think it is a good idea to make our SF git repo read-only until this implementation issue for our workflow is resolved. I plan to do that later today if you don't have any strong objections.
Of course, Brad King may not answer my question so it may be up to you to figure out the implementation of the hooks or possibly even me. But if this takes more than a few days (which is guaranteed if I have to implement it), then I think we should make our svn repo writeable again which would allow the PLplot developers to proceed for a bit longer using svn until we do figure out an implementation for the git workflow enforcement hooks. Of course, if svn is used for development again that means you have to do the svn to git repo transformation again. To avoid that I am willing to let the current pause in PLplot development continue (with both the svn and git repos being read-only) until, say, the middle of next week) in the hope that the required git hooks can be put in place in a timely manner.
