[Gitstat-devel] [gitstat-devel] How does our own tree do when converted to git (just for the fun of it)

[Paul V. <pau...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just did an export to a local git-repository for our own gitstat. I 
then created a new gitstat site and found a few issues (yeah what's new):

1. Tags
======
When doing a git-cvsimport our versions (only 3) are nicely referenced 
as tags. The big difference between a real git repo and a converted one 
seems to be:

(Real git repository) :

$ git-for-each-ref '--sort=-*creatordate' '--format=%(objectname) 
%(objecttype)' refs/tags
c64830a35db842daf31ac8ab55c3adac81251d25 tag
4bd720bbc49d02ef8198d529d71b0efae7c69a8d tag
6394f670f55f20739283d120e8f23c830702f4f7 tag

(Converted one) :

$ git-for-each-ref '--sort=-*creatordate' '--format=%(objectname) 
%(objecttype)' refs/tags
15ded53c967dca1831ca142848440bbf484a7d6c commit
0fd481ea61586e6c21df9af419a7a9e137c23baa commit
0d9f3f9d7948962f841fc7bfb51fcd2e86cf1150 commit

Our gitstat.pl (or actually lib.pl) checks for the 'ref' keyword. I'm 
not sure if I made a mistake with git-cvsimport or that we need to 
adjust our script. Bottom line is that we think we don't have tags now.

2. Changelog page
=================
The attached screenshot shows that we overrun the boundaries for our 
sometimes very long lines. Doesn't look nice.

I do think we should speed up going to git.

Cheers,

Paul.
