Mozilla.com/Git

I'd like to move mozilla.com to git.

Problems:

  • Learning curve for current developers
  • Large amounts of localizers currently committing with SVN
  • Currently many small commits going out
  • Translating repo with history and branch structure into git

Transition

  • Allow people to still commit via SVN
  • Write daemon to automatically merge localizer SVN commits
  • Git becomes authoritative, make site run off of git
  • Make sure commits in SVN translate well to git
  • Encourage people to move to git
  • Possibly turn off mozilla.com SVN

Benefits

  • Clear branch separation for features, immediate rollouts
