Er... I guess it's only the case in simplistic cases where you convert all branches in the SVN repo to a single hg repo (which is not workable for the CPython repo, which is too big), and there are no cases of SVN revisions being either ignored or split between several hg changesets (for example because they span multiple branches). The other nice thing with having "[svn rXXX]" in the patch subject line is that it makes the info easily viewable and searchable in the Web front-end. > For another, I'd like to use an author map to bring the revision authors > more in line with what Mercurial repositories usually display; this > helps with tool support and is also just a nicer solution IMO.

It is pointless for a clone of py3k to end up pulling all 40000+ changesets from the trunk. It would add 100MB+ to every py3k clone (that is, quadrupling the size of the repository). > The current Mercurial mirror for py3k also doesn't include any history > from before it was branched, which is bad, IMO. Given how much separate work has taken place in both, I'm not sure having that history would be very useful. We have to take into account practical needs. Someone needing to search history before py3k was created can just do a clone of the trunk. > In order to get the most > of the DVCS structure, it would be helpful if py3k shared history with > the normal (trunk) branches. Is any SVN-to-hg conversion tool able to parse the commits produced by svnmerge?

I'm not sure what the problem is. Developer SVN access already goes through ssh. cheers Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
