It wasn't my intention to start applying patches not endorsed by Pumpkings. And my irregular update script wasn't verbose enough about the failure. That being said I think they are valuable to people tracking the repository. so, here's what I'll do; 'p4/perl' will have the inadvertant commit removed from it and track perforce verbatim. 'blead' will get merged from blead every time I update it, and I'll review and accept changes to files under Porting/ and any git interoperability-related patches I receive and can be convinced are safe. My intention with accepting these changes is that patches to Porting/ would give instructions about how all of the maintenance operations that worked under Perforce will work under git. In particular, there should be a script which will use the output of 'git rev-list --cherry-pick', as well as correlate information from the log messages, to say what patches still need to be considered for application to the maintenance branches. I'm hoping that this will stop there every being a fork while not discouraging people who are willing to help the transition help out. If anyone has any objections, please raise them - I can of course just put these under a different branch or something like that. Thoughts/comments/flames? Sam.Thread Previous | Thread Next
