Re: [nant-dev] Repository maintenance folder deletion

[Leszek Ciesielski]

I am curating https://github.com/skolima/NAnt git mirror and this is
problematic. Git 'cvsimport' command does not handle file deletions
(due to the broken way cvs itself records them), so nmake is still
present in the (automatically updated) mirror. I will push a commit
deleting the file, but I'm not willing to rewrite history to remove
it, as this would break any existing clones. Is this an acceptable
solution?

I see you point. But I'm no sure if removing the file is enough. I think 
that your mirror is out of sync and I have some doubts that updates are 
working.
Maybe you can try to wipe out the last commit (IMHO rebase might can do 
this) or do a fresh 'cvsimport'.

Im really sorry for this trouble and I'm wiling to assist you to get 
your mirror up and running again.

BTW: We are on the way to github too. But we want to get out next nant 
version first.

So far Dominik
