Another problem I found in the current setup is that its a bit counter-intuitive how to manage the directory structure for developers. I mean, most of us probably have this:
- mediawiki
- /core (clone mediawiki/core.git)
- /extensions (directory with clones of individual extensions or clone of mediawiki/extensions.git tracking repo)
In SVN time extensions were a subdir of mediawiki core and I doubt that everyone has suddenly decided to change it. At least I haven't. -Niklas
No, not at all. They never were and never will.
In svn we have:
[mediawiki]
- trunk/
- phase3/
- extensions/
Extensions has always been besides never inside core.
Actually, they were back in the day, but were quickly moved out. Early wmf repo history is fun ;-)
Fun fact for the day: we rewrote history to remove wikihiero and a couple of other things (should've just deleted them all, grr :) that were making the core git repo way larger than it needed to be (wikihiero used to have huge uncompressed images).
