Git for Horde Source

Ideas on setting up a Horde Git repository

Description

Setup

#!/usr/bin/env sh

cd /var/www/git/horde/

export CVSROOT=":pserver:cvsread@anoncvs.horde.org:/repository"

FILES="agora

ansel

chora

<SNIP>

whups

wicked"

for FILE in $FILES

do

    echo $FILE": "

    git-cvsimport -C$FILE $FILE

done

Submodules

I added a git submodule for every horde module inside the horde/horde

repository. Now you can do:

git clone git://git.koch.ro/git/horde/horde

cd horde

git submodule init

foreach modules as MODULE // Only those you want to use

  git submodule update $MODULE      // checks out the module

Now there are some more things[1] to think about when actually developing, but

that's one way it could be done.

Compare sample repo sizes for CVS vs SVN vs git

Ingo

CVS repo: 51MB

CVS checkout (HEAD only): 7MB

SVN repo: 31MB

SVN checkout (all): 322MB

SVN checkout (trunk only): 16MB

git repo: 18MB

Note that for Git, repo size and checkout size are the same.
