[Jamwiki-devel] git migration

[Thomas K. <th...@ko...>]

Hi,

I ran an svn-git conversion yesterday and need your feedback for two 
decisions. First I've attached the authors file used to map svn ids to git 
names and emails. Please (Ryan) review this file and add or remove information 
as you like.

Second: When trying to push the git repo to a server I killed the process 
somewhere at 30MB. That is too large. I've then filtered out the largest files 
in the history:

git log --all --format=format:%T | xargs -n 1 -d "\\n" git ls-tree -r --long 
--full-name | cut -d " " -f4- | grep "^ *[[:digit:]]\{6,\}" | sort -u -n -r 

The .jar files alone make up more than 40MB. I propose to remove all .jar 
files from the history. I don't think that anybody plans to build the versions 
from the pre-maven era. It's nice and important to have the history of the 
java files from this time, but it's a burden to carry old .jar cruft around.

Additionally I found more files that I propose to delete. They might not even 
be in the trunk branch:

 100665 ehcache/Ehcache - Web Caching_files/Main.js

I've pushed a git clone with those files removed to:
https://github.com/thkoch2001/jamwiki-wiki-conversion-wip

The current tree has a size of 7.5 MB while the Git repo is 10 MB large. 
Having the whole history locally thus adds an overhead of 2.5 MB.

I've lost the branches during the conversion. But I could do the conversion 
again with the branches, if you want. However the only not yet merged from the 
last year is "wrh2" with some cleanup commits. Is this branch still needed?
