Well this problem already exist today with "pure svn" ...

But I was actually thinking that the hudson integration jobs would be done by a git repo that has the its 1 or more related repos as a git submodule. That would make it work I think plus we get stability (i.e. it doesn't move automatically on every change unless we want to) plus we get a versioned repo of the actual build setup. WDYT ?

note - for jbosstools what I see happening is that we start by simply using a copy of svn repo into one big git repo and then over time move each "module" out into its own git repo (the challenge is to define what module or set of modules goes into a repo) /max > > Regards > Gary > > ----- Original Message ----- >> Hey, >> >> We got our svn mirror now but after working with it a bit its >> basically just as slow as normal svn (if you can get it to work). >> >> ...thus i'm wondering if anyone can come up with good reasons to >> *not* >> just move all new development over to git and simply kill off >> the SVN completely for our jbosstools trunk development ? >> >> 3.2.x would stay in SVN. >> >> Comments/Suggestions/Screams/Objections ? >> >> /max >> http://about.me/maxandersen /max http://about.me/maxandersen
