As stated above, I'd like to request shell access to gcc.gnu.org to 
setup a git mirror of the GCC svn repository.  I'd also suggest Harvey 
Harrison as a co-maintainer of the mirror, as he helped setting it up on 
git.infradead.org.

At this time, the repository and git-svn metadata take up 2.5GB of disk 
space.  CPU usage is minimal.  I will just have to install a shell 
script running from my user crontab.

We don't require root access for ordinary maintenance, but someone would 
have to install and configure at least git-daemon and gitweb to make the 
mirror publicly accessible.

If it seems too much hassle for the benefit, we'll keep going with the 
existing git mirror on infradead.org, but I feel it would better serve 
our users and developers to at least mention it as an official mirror on 
our web site.

If this happens and it needs to get backed up, I'll need to know where
it lives.  I just installed a beefier server in a colo for backups so
I have the space and bandwidth.

Actually, the newer git-svn's finally switched metadata format, so once
I get done moving it over, it will be ~350MB of git data and 50MB or so
of git-svn metadata. (rev_db vs rev_map format)

A few things I'd like to clean up if we move a copy over:

1) generate a author's file so the commits have better than just a login
name as the commiter/author.

2) change the layout so it can be cloned just like any other git repo

Harvey

Very good idea.  And the pairing should already be in the aliases
file on gcc.gnu.org.

> 2) change the layout so it can be cloned just like any other git repo

What would the problem be?  I have just cloned it normally.

Hi -

Yup.  We can slot in a gcc git mirror beside the half-dozen others we
already have.  (Angela: the payload data is under the new
/sourceware/projects/FOO-home/gitfiles directory; symlinks from /git.)

I'll try to set up the blank directories and then hand it over to
Bernardo for population and maintenance.

OK, /git/gcc.git appears ready for you to populate & maintain.  Access
as {http,git,ssh}://gcc.gnu.org/gcc.git should all work.

Harvey appears to have no sourceware account, so he'll need to request
one if necessary.

Guys, if you want, i can populate it with my git-svn clone, which has
a svn root id of ssh://gcc.gnu.org//svn/gcc (IE the proper root if you
wanted to be able to dcommit), and has all branches (but no tags).

I'm ashamed I made so much fuss, and when it was my turn to
do something, it slipped under my radar.

I've been traveling around worse than Borat, and I'm still in
a hotel room somewhere.  Oh, is it really Wednesday?  Then I
must be in Brussels :-)

Sure, thanks.  Go on!  Harvey knows git-svn better than I do, and
may have additional tips for you.

Harvey, what version of git-svn is required to get the more compact
*cough*sane*cough* metadata format?

Also check out ~bernie/bin/git-update-toolchain.sh on gcc.gnu.org.
This is what I intended to use to do the update.  I made it group
writable so you and Harvey can tweak it as needed.

FWIW, i used git 1.5.5rc to build the repo. I originally started with
tags, and it used the new 'rev_map" format, but even in rev_map
format, the metadata for tags was about 3 gigs.

Really?  When I add up all the metadata in my clone for the tags it's
less than 50 MB...where is all of your space taken up?

I've been waiting until I had the time to rewrite my import with proper
author names.  Does anyone have a correspondence file mapping the login
name to Author?  If so I can rewrite my import and get the svn mirror
doing the rewrites from now on.

in .git/svn/tags

The .rev_map files are small (~4k, iirc), there are larger files in
each dir named "index".

You have all 800+ tags in less than 50 meg metadata?

Why would you want to do this?
We consider the login name to be the author.

rm .git/svn/tags/*/index

You don't need them.  Same goes for the index files in the branches.

There is no singular mapping from login name to author, since we have
all used different email addresses in the changelog at different
times.
Login name has always been correct, and it would be wrong for us to
change history to try to represent our login name as if it has always
had our latest email address.

I would highly suggest you just use login name as the author.

Why does it create files named index if they are not needed?

This is an artifact, it now creates them on the fly from the git repo
rather than caching them.  git-svn should delete all of the temp index
files, if these are just leftovers from an old import, ok.  Otherwise
I'd send a bug report.

I was only suggesting it as a nicity, if people are happy with the
login name alone, I'd suggest Bernardo just push the repo from
infradead over now as that is what is there.

No, this was from a brand new import in a brand new dir performed two
weeks ago sunday (with a git version as it existed at noon on that day

I believe the fix for this went in between 1.5.4-rc2 and 1.5.4-rc3 FYI

What about "Real Name  <login@gcc.gnu.org>"?  The overseers have the 
mapping, or you can sort of guess it from the names in the ChangeLog. 
This has to be decided before the first push, so it's kind of urgent to 
decide it.

I also think adding the Real Name is nice.

Maybe we should also consider adding the login as an additional field
in the MAINTAINERS file, as AFAIK every MAINTAINERS as a @gcc.gnu.org
address.

I put my version of the gcc conversion (which has all branches but no

it appropriately.

Note that i will not announce this anywhere until someone steps
forward to actually maintain it because i do not know GIT.  Neither of
the people who volunteered have done it even after repeated prodding
:(

Daniel,

how is the GIT repository synced? Is there a hook which updates it
after a svn commit?

I'm about to switch from infradead to gcc.gnu.org, and I want to make
sure that the latter is synced at least as frequently as the former
before I do that.

No.
It is synced every 30 minutes.

I have strong doubts that whether it is synced every commit or every
30 minutes seriously affects your development.

Where did I wrote that it would "seriously affect my development"?

However, having it synced periodically rather than after every commit is
an annoyance. For example, when I see an interesting commit, I sometimes
want to look at it once installed in the sources; the easiest solution
is to refresh my git repository and look at it. If it's not there yet,
it's an annoyance.

When one of my patches get approved, before committing it, I rebase it
on the latest sources and put it at the bottom of my patch stack and checks
that it at least still compiles cleanly. If git is not in sync, it's an
annoyance.

When I commit one of my patches, I remove it from my git patch stack
and rebase other patches on top of the upstream git repository, which
should now include the patch I just checked in. If git is not in sync,
I have to either leave for up to 30 minutes with one patch missing,
or I have to wait for up to 30 minutes before I can remove the original
from my tree.  It's an annoyance.

As you see, no, it doesn't "seriously affect my development", it just
makes it less practical and, more importantly from my point of view,
less fun. Especially when there are no obstacles to making it be more
practical but a one-time setup.

So having git refresh itself after a SVN commit would be great :)

Then who cares whether it is synced instantaneously or not?

True, but it won't change anytime soon because it would place more
load, and require more locking (since there is no guarantee a git sync
will finish before the next commit occurs).

Again, not gonna happen anytime soon.

More load? Come on, you are doing 48 "svn update" a day right now by
syncing every 30 minutes without even knowing if a commit took place or
not. What I am proposing would make one "svn update" per svn commit.
Hardly more load, probably even less.

As far as locking is concerned, I was thinking of a procmail script
catching mail received from gcc-cvs and doing something like:

  :0:/tmp/svn2git
  * ^To: gcc-cvs@gcc.gnu.org
  | (cd /to/git/repo && git svn fetch)

This is not hard to do, put an equivalent or a lighter strain on the svn
server, gives a much better synchronized repository and takes care of
the locking.

And if you want to make sure that you don't have more than one svn
update per minute in case something goes wrong, adding a "sleep 60"
between the parentheses won't change the number of "svn update" done by
this procmail script but will at least space them in time.

I know that you don't like git, but I was happy to see that you volunteered
anyway to setup the GIT repository when the person who was supposed to
do it became MIA. But now that you have done the hard part, I don't
understand why you explicitly refuse to do the small part which is
needed to make the GIT repository that you populated easy and pleasant
to use.

If it is because you don't have time to do it, I am volunteering to finish
the setup, make it ready for wide use, and setup what is necessary to
keep it up-to-date, just send me the required credentials so that I can
take care of it.

I know you think this is personal, as per your email below, but it really isn't.
I had it set up to do it after every commit, and it drove our load
average up a noticeable amount.
As such, I stopped doing it and set it to run every 30 minutes.

I'm not sure why you think this is some personal vendetta I have.
I tried what you ask, it causes noticeably more load, so i stopped doing it.

I can't see how only being updated every 30 minutes is somehow "less
easy and pleasant to use".
This is the price you pay for not being the main version control system.
The same is true of the mercurial mirror, it is only updated every 30 minutes.
I have not discriminated against git in any way, shape or form, and in
fact had tried what you suggest before moving to this model.

FWIW, if the git repo or the mercurial repo started seriously driving
up the load average of the server, we would turn them off, because
neither is the main version control system of gcc.
This is just the price you pay for not being the official repo.

I don't think this is personal at all, on the contrary: you stated
publicly that GIT is not your SCM of choice, which is of course
perfectly right, and you set it up anyway, so I don't think you have a
personal vendetta running against git :)

I think the mistake is to have them (git & hg) hosted on the same
machine as svn. Having them on "hg.gcc.gnu.org" and "git.gcc.gnu.org"
would allow to split the load between machines (even if "hg.gcc.gnu.org"
and "git.gcc.gnu.org" are the same machines originally).

This would be a great idea, if only we had more machines :)
Sadly, machines and dns names are tricky for political reasons around gcc.

   Used to, and then one day they just stopped doing it without telling
   anyone, and questions went unanswered.

Sorry, that never happend AFAIK.  I used the GCC CVS repo
there, was never out of sync for me.

   So uh, thanks but no thanks :)

Same thing can happen here; nothing extraordinary with that...

I don't really know about the issues involved, but anyone can set up a 
unofficial mirror, so I'm not sure the DNS name would have to be an issue, 
as long as it remained unofficial, which it sort of would be anyway since 
it's not the main VCS.

As for machines, there's server1.sourceware.org and 
server2.sourceware.org, although IIRC disk space may be an issue? 
Apologies if you're already aware of them and it wouldn't work :-). 
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it if you really were interested.

If we are willing to have git.gcc.gnu.org and hg.gcc.gnu.org be
different machines, i believe i can get some google machines in a
datacenter to host them.

Ah, the issue with this one is the same with any separate machine.
I'd have to rsync the svn tree after every commit, instead of just git
imports.
If we are going to have to do that, might as well do it to a competely
new machine than use our already limited resources for something like
this :)

After consultation with Dan, I have set things up on gcc.gnu.org so that
the git repository is updated every time an email message is received
from the gcc-cvs mailing list.

We'll be monitoring the system to see if there is a load hit.  If so,
we'll probably drop back to Dan's original method.

FWIW, I did a quick calculation of the current month of commits, and
there is an average of 31 per day, throwing out a crazy outlier of
121.

Incorporating the 121 brings the average to 36 (next highest past 121
is 53, all other values are below 38.

Data set for April:
33 16 39 46 35 36 53 15 21 25 31 38 121 26 21 27 39 32 41

s/38/48, 48 being the number of daily commits under the 30 minute model

The problem with commits is that the average is not what matters.
Commits are bursty.
People make 5 commits to different branches in the course of a minute
or two, then there is nothing for another 15 minutes, etc.

Yeah, if performance is an issue, it'd probably help to play with
responses to the commit trigger -- maybe wait for 2 minutes for the repo
to become idle, and then prevent another update within 5 minutes
(picking numbers out of my wossname).

Some of branches situated not on top of /branch directory in svn. For
example redhat branches situated under /branch/redhat. There is only one
branch 'redhat' in the git repository, that contain all redhat branches as
directory. It's not very suitable. Does it possible to track this branches
separatly in git?

I have not measured, but we're certainly not talking about
such a relevant amount of load to require multiple dedicated
servers.

Cute.  How about adding this to the GCC repository in some file parallel
to our MAINTAINERS file?  Something like MAINTAINERS.logins or so?

That would be an alternative.  It would increase the width of MATINAINERS
above 80 characters, and I'm not sure how much of an issue that would be.

Either way, having this information in one central place sounds like a 
good idea.

I don't think adding YA place that has to be updated when things change
is a good idea.  If this is a script that runs on gcc.gnu.org then you
should be able to get the full name with a minimal amount of effort
using a getpw* function.

Okay, I'll hack up a script.  It's not that simple as it might seem at 
first glance, since SVN has references to accounts which are not (or 
should not) be active any longer:

  NOfx
  NOchelf
  NOpbienst
  NObo
  NOgp
  NObbooth
  NOkargl

Actually, there are a number of further problems, and I'll take those
to overseers...
