That should work, you'd just need to remember to run "git submodule
update" after switching branches, which should be pretty easy. At that
point you still need to manage 4 different git repos though (core,
vendor, skins, extensions).

I see the mediawiki/extensions and mediawiki/skins repos both have a
REL1_27 branch. Do they somehow not work correctly to check out all
submodules at the appropriate revisions?

Devs don't have to remember to cut branches, I cut a REL1_* for all
extensions & skins during the release cycle. They aren't retroactively
done for new extensions or skins sure, but they should all be there.

I was talking more about putting the "bundled" ones (ie: those in the
tarballs) as submodules of core release branches like we do for the
wmf/* branches.

my thought would not only be for the bundled extensions but for *everything*
under skins/ and extensions/ to get a given REL branch when a release is
set. It might mean that some extensions get a REL for a non-compatible
branch but it would cover those extensions where devs forget to cut
branches.

It's on my todo list to add all the extensions and skins that are bundled
in a release to the core release branch as submodules, just haven't gotten
around to it yet.

In addition to the problems/benefits you point out, it also means that the
extensions and skins would be included in the signed tags for each
release, aiding in reproducibility of a release.

[Wikitech-l] git release branches

[John]

Can we get a repo for each major release that contains core, skins, and all
extensions in a single checkout? Right now I am updating and with all of
the sub modules, I am running into issues where I cant set a branch on the
extensions/ repo for REL 1_27 and get all extensions as of that branching,
Instead I am forced to go thru one by one and manually set it, if and only
if a given extension has said branch set, otherwise I am out of luck.

Getting everything together would cause a larger checkout, but keeps things
together for those who want to pick and choose.
