Also, some bikeshedding on the branch name: I vote
that the branch
name to be wmf/1.20wmf01 , and subsequent deployments to follow that

can figure out that "oh, you prefix wmf/ on the front for permissions
reasons".
Sounds fine.
Other work that's underway or needs to get
underway:
* Chad has started the work of converting make-wmf-branch to Git:
https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/tools/make-wmf-branch/defa…
This is almost done enough for the first deploy.
* Aaron is also working on the scripts for pulling
our WMF-specific
hacks and reapplying them in 1.20.
Like I said to him on IRC, the absolute best thing to do here is
get them into master so we can avoid the conflicts. Worst case,
we can just apply them manually to the branch once we've made
it.
* We still need to audit the scap/sync scripts to
make sure that .git
folder is being excluded on scap. Roan has started looking at that
now.
Awesome.
During the next few weeks while both 1.19wmf1 and
1.20wmf01 are out
there, we're going to need to use both Subversion and Git for
deployment-oriented code.
That's part of the fun ;-)
