Hi, I got several questions about git migration so I thought I would just write this up quickly with current outstanding issues/info: Jira does not show git commits in its source tab ===================================== There is an open helpdesk request #175361 asking to add all github.com/jbosstools-* repos into JBIDE and JBDS jira. All svn:ignores was not migrated over ============================= This is my fault, I thought the git-svn migration I setup did this but apparently all the .gitignores that were in there came from our own svn (I assume nickboldt added them while he used git-svn) but did not cover the same git-ignore rules as the svn-ignore ones - thus there is some inconsistencies here. We dont really need many of these .gitignore's I believe, thus I've added a root .gitignore in (almost) all projects that excludes target/ and bin/ dir globally. nothing else. If your project has a specific file it needs excluding (i.e. a internal build jar) then add that to a local .gitignore for that directoy - not to the global one. If you got an editor that creates funky named scratch files I suggest you configure a global exclude for it. See Global .gitignore at https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files What happens if I do push --force on our master repos ? =========================================== A kittten dies, an angel looses its wings and everyone who have pulled from this repo will now have to go through excruciating pain of recloning/repulling and rebasing their work. Oh - and did I mention you might loose someone already pushed changes ? Unfortunately github does not allow this to be disabled on projects hosted on github.com (they do on their enterprise repo product - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5094524/github-prevent-colaborator-fro...) Thus for now - just don't do it. I'll try and setup a warning system (add requestb.in hooks to all repos), for it in case it does happen so we can at least detect it and restore a proper repo if it occurs. (Hibernate core repos have this and helped them a few times) /max
