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.
Use git clone --depth 1
to get only the latest revision (with fetch, later on more revisions can be fetched if needed)
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
- Fine tuning possible
- Disadvantages
- Separate config
- Requires running binary all the time, on a separate port.
What about Lazarus ?
Tool for migration
subgit
Advantages
- very flexible
- very fast (remote cloning of the whole FPC repository takes ?)
Disadvantages
- external java-based tool, so some dependencies
git-svn
Advantages
- included in git it self
Disadvantages
- less flexible
