Git not tracking Topic is solved

[Korken]

Hi all,

It seems that the Git mirror is no longer tracking the SVN repository.
Last commit was about 1.5 months ago (Nov. 4), while the SVN was updated a few days ago.

Hi,

That repository is maintained by efforts of volunteers, I am not administrator of that repository.

I recommend using the official release or the subversion trunk if you are interested to the latest code.

Ah, I see. Who is responsible for it?
We could move it to CI and make it run as a cron job.

Hi Korken,

Others members have also point out the same problem.

The members in charge of the git repository are Barthess and Utzig, I will try to contact them but it is not easy because there are not connected all the time.

I will tell them about your idea if I can be in touch with one of them. But Is there a need to be a maintainer to make a Cron job as you suggest??

Thanks.

It is Giovanni's decision to choose where to host this great project.

Stick to SF is fine. SF supports git too.

https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Git/

All we hope is add git support to the repo.

Management
Git service may be enabled for your project as follows:
Login as a project administrator and:
Click the "Add New..." link in the project menu bar
Click on Git.
Select a name for the label (this will determine the title of the link in the project navigation)
Select a Url Path
Those instructions may be repeated using a different label and path to create multiple repositories.
The standard way to modify the contents of your repository is using a Git client as detailed in the Git User's Manual. Refer to the Getting Started section for how to make your first commit to your new repository.

all we need is a read-only access.

@aGuegu This is awesome!

Giovanni, can you enable the read only Git support in SF?
Then we don't have to have all these discussions any more

I'm using git to load the branches. When I'm at home, I can write a small tutorial. It's pretty simple and needs no modifications on the server.

First let's grab some old history. Currently we are at 11142. So as you wish, add your preferred value. Closer to the current one is faster.
I took 10000 and this takes around 20 minutes on my computer.

Code: Select all

git svn clone -r10000:HEAD https://svn.code.sf.net/p/chibios/svn/ -T trunk -b branches -t tags

Check the remote branches:

Code: Select all

git branch -r

  origin/chibios_components_trunk
  origin/chibios_lazarus
  origin/chibistudio_trunk
  origin/rt5_dev_point1
  origin/sama5d2_dev
  origin/spc5studio_components_sprint15
  origin/stable_16.1.x
  origin/stable_17.6.x
  origin/tags/ver16.1.6
  origin/tags/ver16.1.7
  origin/tags/ver16.1.8
  origin/tags/ver16.1.9
  origin/tags/ver17.6.0
  origin/tags/ver17.6.1
  origin/tags/ver17.6.2
  origin/tags/ver17.6.3
  origin/trunk

Let's checkout a branch the first time:

Code: Select all

git checkout -b trunk origin/trunk

Next time checkout:

Code: Select all

git checkout trunk

Update local branch:

Code: Select all

git checkout trunk
git svn rebase

Git allows to import a subversion database with a single command, everybody can make its own git ChibiOS repository so it is not a big issue: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-svn

My personal preference is subversion, I think this will not change.

subversion is okay.

All I ask is enabling the parallel git feature provided by sourceforge. It would not affect the subversion usage.

svn to git is no big deal. Despite everyone does it on their own, why not let SF do it for all of us? Just a few click would do the job.

Please please please.
