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:
--Legoktm
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
