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!!)
If you read the instructions ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit), it recommends you only clone with a --depth of 3 (or anything smaller), and it will take up very little space.
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)...
I don't follow. git commit filename.py, git review -R, and then hit +2.
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:
I don't know why you would ever do that, sf.net pretty much sucks.
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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/
