I hope this is close to final for what we want our git repository to look like, and that we can move forward with the remainder of the work to convert to git.<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>At this point, there's no guarantee that the repository won't be rebuilt from scratch with new hashes, if some problem is discovered which requires changing something way back in history. But I hope we're now close to being able to declare a conversion final -- and let people start depending on the hashes being stable.<br></div><br class="m_-1361885073401189273gmail-Apple-interchange-newline"></div><div>This conversion uses the "flat monorepo" layout, like the previous existing git monorepo, and as discussed previously. The process generating it is different, which allows a more faithful conversion, including branches. I've also converted a bunch of the auxiliary repositories.</div><div><br></div><div>I would request that other people help take charge of the remainder of the work. Most importantly -- making a plan for implementing the *rest* of the migration. We have <a href="https://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/GitHubMove.html" target="_blank">https://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/GitHubMove.html</a>, but I think it'll need significant fleshing out and updating. I'm happy to assist with the rest of the migration, but I'd like to _not_ be primarily responsible for other parts beyond svn->git repository conversion.</div><div><br></div><div>Some things that could be discussed in such a plan:</div><div> * Verifying that this conversion is good, what we want, and declaring it final (at which point the hashes can be relied upon not to change).</div><div> * Any particular steps wanted here?</div><div> * Converting buildbots to use git.<br></div><div> * Phabricator changes?</div><div> * How do email notifications get sent for commits?</div><div> * Gathering github accounts for all committers, adding them to a github team.<br></div><div><div> * Deciding upon and announcing a timeline for switching over.</div></div><div> * Proposing, implementing, and testing new workflows for direct git usage:</div><div> * Github pull requests instead of (or in addition to?) phabricator?<br></div><div><div> * Github Protected Branch configuration options?<br></div><div> * E.g. -- direct pushing to git without any restriction, or, require that pull requests be created first?</div></div><div> * Automated Pre-commit testing? Do we setup CI (e.g. <a href="http://travis-ci.org" target="_blank">travis-ci.org</a>) to do some testing on pull requests, to reduce avoidable tree breakages?</div><div> * Any other github configuration options that need to be decided upon?</div><div> * ....other things I forgot about at the moment...<br></div><div> * Timeline for switchover.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Anyways, what's been done _so far_ is a full SVN->Git repository conversion. This conversion:</div><div> * Places the SVN revision number into the commit message, as "llvm-svn=1234"</div><div><br></div><div> * Automatically preserves all branches from the SVN repository (it merges the branches named /$project/branches/$name into a single "$name" branch, attempting, as much as possible, to make the branch-creation commits not look insane).</div><div><br></div><div> * Attempts to convert the svn branches in the "tags" subdir into annotated git tags pointing to the proper commit on the parent branch, where feasible. Sometimes this is impossible, since the "tags" have had modifications after their creation. (They're just branches in SVN, so you can do that, although you shouldn't). If so, they're preserved as a branch named "svntag/$name", instead.</div><div><br></div><div> * Preserves the svn id -> email mapping that was in-use at the time of each SVN commit, as far as is known.</div><div><br></div><div> * Fixes a bunch of -- but not all -- the CVS->SVN conversion errors (due, e.g., to files being renamed directly in the CVS repository).</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Most of the SVN directories are migrated into sub-directories inside the main "llvm" mono-repository:<br></div><div><div> * cfe (renamed to clang in the conversion)</div><div> * clang-tools-extra</div><div> * compiler-rt</div><div> * debuginfo-tests</div><div> * dragonegg (also "gcc-plugin", the original name)</div><div> * libclc</div><div> * libcxx</div><div> * libcxxabi</div><div> * libunwind</div><div> * lld</div><div> * lldb</div><div> * llgo</div><div> * llvm</div><div> * openmp</div><div> * parallel-libs</div><div> * polly</div><div> * pstl<br></div><div> * stacker (deleted after r40406)</div><div>(Additionally, files added to the "monorepo-root/trunk" directory in SVN end up at the root of this repository).</div><div><br></div><div>Some SVN projects are still active, but not part of the LLVM codebase. These get migrated to their own separate git repositories:</div><div> * lnt</div><div> * test-suite</div><div> * www</div><div> * www-pubs</div><div> * www-releases ## TODO. Not done yet as it requires the use of git-lfs, due to large files.</div><div> * zorg</div><div><br></div><div>A couple inactive projects which are somewhat related to the LLVM codebase, migrated to separate repos:</div><div> * poolalloc</div><div> * safecode</div><div><br></div><div>Legacy projects that are not particularly interesting, migrated to a single separate git repository named "archive":</div><div> * clang-tests # Copy of GCC 4.2 testsuite, modified to work with clang</div><div> * clang-tests-external # Copy of GDB testsuite</div><div> * llvm-gcc-4.0 # GCC 4.0, modified for llvm</div><div> * llvm-gcc-4.2 # GCC 4.2, modified for llvm</div><div> * llvm-gcc-4-2 # (merge with above)</div><div> * java</div><div> * vmkit</div><div> * nightly-test-server</div><div> * llbrowse # An LLVM bitcode GUI browser</div><div> * television # A different LLVM GUI browser; shows effects of transforms, etc</div><div> * website # 2007-era snapshot of website, not actually maintained here.</div><div><div> * core, llvm-top, sample, support, hlvm # from the "HLVM" refactoring attempt.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Projects _not_ migrated from SVN in this conversion, since they're elsewhere already:</div><div> * giri # Never actually developed here; actually <a href="https://github.com/liuml07/giri" target="_blank">https://github.com/liuml07/giri</a></div><div> * klee # Already migrated to github with history; <a href="https://github.com/klee/klee" target="_blank">https://github.com/klee/klee</a></div><div class="m_-1361885073401189273gmail-yj6qo"></div><br class="m_-1361885073401189273gmail-Apple-interchange-newline"></div></div></div></div>
