Bug #: 37946
Summary: Add support for git branches
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ExtensionDistributor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Right now there is general git support (bug 35574), but not for branches yet.
The only place Git is supported is as replacement for 'trunk'. I'm not sure
that would even work, actually, since then
* extensions that are only in SVN would no longer be downloadable
* branches for Git-only extensions not visible
* if an extension is in both, the branches from the outdated dir in SVN would
be shown together with an option for 'master' form Git
.. which is probably why it is disabled by default and we're not using it on
mediawiki.org yet.
Instead we should use the local branches of the extensions. If we want to we
could have a configuration option that only shows branch names that are in a
whitelisted array.
Also, we likely need to get rid of the hardcoded path requirement that
everything has to follow [mediawiki]/branches/$version/$extensionName.
