Re: [Pywikipedia-l] [Toolserver-l] Pywikibot, GIT and TS

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all! Pywikibot finished GIT migration. Now a question has anybody ever tryed to clone and use the e.g. the pywikibot/compat repo on the TS? If I do, I get and .git folder of about 200MB which nearly fills my home quota. (this is the plain clone - nothing done to/with it yet!!)

Yes I could do 'git gc' I could also switch to using SVN from github (but needs to handle all externals manually)... So... what was acutally the reason for switching to GIT? Despite the fact that I have to enter about 1 million different commands now (in SVN I needed 5 ... maybe 10 - 1 command per action, in GIT I need about 5-10 command PER action) I am dealing 75% of my time with GIT issues (that SVN did not have)...

In fact I am not able to to USE or further develop the GIT repo since the migration - and I am SERIOUSLY thinking about setting up an own copy on sf.net again and work there... (then we would also have the bug-tracker back in the same place) At the moment I see just 2 drawbacks:

1.) not hosted by mediawiki (really a drawback?) 2.) no review (this is the one and only advantage of git till now, and in fact it's git-review which causes issues too) The list of advantages on the other side, is that long that I will not even start making one, think of it yourself and please give me some feedback! At least I do not see if there will ever be a point in time when GIT will start to work as well as SVN did in the past. I do also not see why I have to enter 5 commands just to make a simple commit. And that will never change... Thanks for your thoughts and Greetings DrTrigon --Legoktm
