Hi all,
As some of you are probably aware, we've got a test repository converting
phase3 to git up and running on gerrit. You should be able to clone by
`git clone
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/test/mediawiki/core.git`
Couple of caveats (things I'm gonna try and fix):
* Permissions aren't sorted yet, so it's only supporting anonymous clones,
no pushing yet.
* The revision graph is crazy. svn:mergeinfo is unreliable and we're pretty
much unable to build a cohesive history without a *lot* of manual labor. Right
now I'm thinking of just dropping the mergeinfo so the branches look like linear
graphs cherry picking from master. Not perfect, but less annoying than now.
But yay progress! Clone it. Try it out, see what works (and what doesn't).
I'll try to get the permissions sorted later today so we can go ahead and
try some test pushes (and merges).
Things we still need to do:
* Make a git-setup like we've done for the other git repos. This will setup your
environment/hooks/etc for you.
* Figure out our WMF branching/deployment strategy, since we're very SVN-
centric right now with this.
Thanks for any input, guys.
