Evil deed: Switching development repository to git

Evil deed: Switching development repository to git

Hi folks,


next week, I'm planning to move the combined newlib/libgloss and cygwin
repository from CVS to git.  The basic stuff is quickly done, but hooks,
mailing list handling, and changes to the websites are to be done, so I
expect the switch to take about two days.

I'll set up a commit moratorium starting next Monday at about 10:00 UTC.

When the git repo is up and working I'll throw the lever and inform the
mailing lists.  Afterwards you can expect to access the new combined
newlib/cygwin git repository via either

  git clone git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git

or, if you have write permissions on the repo

  git clone sourceware.org:/git/newlib-cygwin.git

or, for the web view:

  https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git

Many thanks for this!

If you have write permissions, you may find it more convenient to do:

git clone git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git
git remote set-url --push origin sourceware.org:/git/newlib-cygwin.git

... as then you don't have to authenticate to pull, only to push.

Uh ok.  Good to know.


Thanks,

There's also some packaging stuff and the snapshot creation scripts
for Cygwin.  But that will come over time.

I don't know anything about the git mirror.  I'm going to set up
the repo from scratch.  I had a few testruns already and it looks
pretty well, I think.


Thanks,

I'm not the one to make such a decision.  I'm moving newlib and cygwin
to git and disallow further checkins into these two project subdirs
inside the CVS tree, nothing else.
