This page is about migrating FPC from SVN to git
Concerns/Questions
What part of SVN to migrate ?
- More is better.
Jonas has a very complete git mirror of the SVN+CVS part. (care needs to be taken: there used to be a time when copyrighted code was checked in)
- In order to save on diskspace, find ways to tell user how to clone only a part.
Branching model ?
Various models exist:
Something like the current one or a different one?
User management ?
Git has no concept of users. To manage permissions on a server, a separate program is needed.
gitorious
- Advantages
- uses git repo for administration
- No server binary
- Disadvantages
- No web interface
- administration needs ssh key, only ssh possible.
- Web integration ?
gitea
- Advantages
- Web based

- Disadvantages
- Separate config
- Requires running binary all the time, on a separate port.
