[cfe-dev] GIT mirroring

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Hello Everyone,

It seems given the decent amount of discussions it's time to make
small announcement.

So, official git mirrors are available for some subset of LLVM
projects. They were used by some LLVM developers for couple of months
already and seem to be stable enough.

Right now there is a mirroring for LLVM itself and clang. More can be
added per requests. The mirrors are made via running of git-svn on
llvm.org inside post-commit hook, so they should be in theory as fresh
as possible. Also, one can recreate git-svn metadata and enable such
nice features like "git svn dcommit". The mirrors track only trunk
mostly due to not so git'ish way of doing branches / tags in LLVM
repository.

The URLs for clone are:

http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
http://llvm.org/git/clang.git

It's not yet decided whether we'll run e.g. gitweb for mirrors, most
probably - there won't be anything like this, viewvc should be enough
for almost all purposes.

PS: Patches to various sorts of documentation scattered here and there
are welcome :)
