Re: [webkit-dev] Version control survey results
(For current svn users I assume using svn would become effectively impossible; the only tool I could find to do this is server-side and essentially maintains git and svn repositories in parallel.) FYI, any Git repository on GitHub also functions as a Subversion repository: $ svn checkout https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/trunk WebKit AWebKit/.dir-locals.el AWebKit/.gitattributes AWebKit/.gitignore AWebKit/.qmake.conf AWebKit/CMakeLists.txt AWebKit/ChangeLog AWebKit/ChangeLog-2012-05-22 AWebKit/Examples AWebKit/Examples/ChangeLog AWebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin AWebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/English.lproj AWebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings AWebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/Info.plist AWebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/MenuHandler.h AWebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/MenuHandler.m … You can even use Subversion branches to create pull requests on GitHub (though I don't know what the performance would be like for a repository as large as WebKit): https://github.com/blog/1178-collaborating-on-github-with-subversion. GitHub doesn't currently make the Subversion-Git bridge available for non-GitHub repositories. I don't say this to try to convince anyone to switch to Git or GitHub; I just thought it seemed relevant. -Adam ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

As far as I could recall the last discussion, there won't be much benefit in switching the master over to git unless we adopt git workflow (e.g. first new links on https://www.google.com/search?q=git+workflow). In particular, change loges are the biggest obstacle. We could try to mitigate this divergence by allowing webkit-patch to fill in change logs automatically from git commit messages when landing patches. (I'm not volunteering to do this). This involves commands like webkit-patch upload automatically pre populating git commit messages (without modifying change logs) as they do change logs today, and then commands like webkit-patch land automatically parsing those git commit messages to populate change logs and commit --amend them. Commands like webkit patch apply-from-bug can then parse change log changes and convert them to git commit messages in turn. I'm not sure how change logs should be updated/constructed in branch-merge workflow. But that's not really an argument I'm interested in pushing. I believe eventually the remaining SVN users will switch to distributed version control of their own will, and we'll eventually decide to stop supporting SVN because not enough of the project is using it to justify causing the majority of users to use a translated solution.
