Hello, Working on upcoming bzr-to-git migration we noticed empty directories presence in bzr history. Therefore, since git does not care about directories (and creates them only for existing files), this conversion does not exactly preserve bzr history and may theoretically cause problems (e.g., build problems) for the affected revisions. Fortunately, there were probably few such cases in the whole history and all of them are old. Our analysis for Squid trunk showed the last such revision is 9440 dated 2009-01-18, containing empty 'errors/Japanese' folder. Here is the generated list for trunk:
errors/Japanese, r9401-9440 errors/Czech, r9436-9438 lib/cppunit-1.10.0/contrib, r6693-8121 lib/cppunit-1.10.0/include/msvc6, r6693-8121 lib/cppunit-1.10.0/src/msvc6, r6693-8121 helpers/external_acl, r5495-5516 helpers, r5482-5494 helpers/external_acl, r5482-5494 helpers, r4765-5481 There are 2 possible ways to address this problem: 1. Leave as is. 2. During conversion, add dummy files to the history when the empty directory is created and remove those dummy files when the empty directory is either removed or becomes non-empty. This requires extra development cycles. Note that both the missing (empty) directories and extra dummy files may break builds for the related revisions. If nobody is against, to minimize development overhead, we are going to follow (1) in the above plan. Thanks, Eduard. _______________________________________________ squid-dev mailing list squid-dev@lists.squid-cache.org http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-dev
