Re: [eclipse.org-committers] Installing SVN
|
And, with SVN, old revisions are always kept. This might be good in
some ways, but mostly it's problematic. The effect is that when
someone checks in something that violates IP cleanliness rules or that
was just plain wrong, we have to dump the whole repository, filter the
text file with the SVN tools, and reload it. This is slow and error
prone. The repository is unusable while we do that, and something
fairly often breaks in the tooling while doing this (ask the
Technology people), with the not unlikely possibility of toasting the
repository and having to try again.
really? doesnt eclipse want anything in the repository what violates IP
cleanliness rules?
Even if a commit does fix that later on?
I am also a apache committer but i never hear that before in the apache
camp..
There projects start out that can have many ip problems but that is
fixed on the way, and yes you can only create a release when that is all
fixed.
But having it in the repo doesnt seem to be any problem
