Git is a popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency. See http://git.or.cz/ for more info.
The Windows users might be interested in the MinGW git port.
Git and OpenOffice.org
A functional git tree with the entire OOo history for testing purposes is here: http://go-oo.org/git. It is an imported CVS tree that was split into two parts:
- The sources themselves - ooo.git
- The 3rd party stuff (binary mozilla, zlib, berkeleydb, ...) - 3rdparty.git
The size of the sources is about 1.3G, the size of the 3rd party stuff is 591M. Please follow the instructions on http://go-oo.org/git to get the tree.
Transformations
These transformations are done while converting from CVS:
- The OOo repository is split into the sources and 3rd party sources as described above
- 'cws_src680_xyz' branches are renamed to simple 'xyz'
- 'CWS_SRC680_XYZ_ANCHOR' tags are renamed to simple 'XYZ'
- 'INTEGRATION: CWS xyz' commits are grouped into one commit (they are generated by CWS tooling per-file), and treated as a merge in the git tree
- Tabs are converted to 4 spaces at the beginning of the lines in .c/.cxx/.h/.hxx/.mk/.src
- 'RESYNC:.*FILE MERGED', and 'RESYNC:.*FILE REMOVED' are grouped inside branches (with single 'RESYNC' log entry)
- May result in multiple 'RESYNC' commits inside the branch when a commit happened to another one in the middle of the resync
Requirements/TODO
- Convert CollabNet account names into real names
- maybe use the data from DomainDeveloper (complete that where necessary) if there's no easy way to extract the names from CollabNet
- Delete merged branches (from 'heads', not from history!)
- Evaluate the speed & compare with SVN (the RE preferred option) - checkout/clone, branch, resync, integration
- Translations to a separate git tree as well?
- UDK to a separate git tree?
- .pdf version of developer's guide consume quite some space as well - any chance to do something with it?
