Roger,

do you need any help with fixing this?  I think the other repositories are ok.

Unfortunately, yes. It is a problem.

There may be a hole in our documentation or process that needs to be plugged. I'll look into that.

All Eclipse projects must start from an "initial contribution". That initial contribution is a snapshot of the code at the time the Eclipse project is created and does not include history. It is vetted and approved by the IP team. That snapshot needs to be the first commit in the project repository. We can't have the history of the project before it came to Eclipse in the Eclipse repository; the IP team is unable to vet history of an initial contribution, so it needs to be collapsed.

Some projects--like EGit for example--include a pointer to the previous home of their code for history.

Please work with the webmaster to fix your repositories so that they each start with the corresponding initial contribution. Webmaster should be able to replay the history since the initial contribution to get you back into a working state.

Let me know if I can help.

Hi Wayne,

It is as Ian suggests, it's the complete history of the code. It only predates the eclipse phase of the project :) Is this a problem?

Cheers,

Roger

I made a small change to the way that contributor commits are discovered (I had made an invalid assumption).

You'll notice that there are a few more entries in the contributions table now. I checked a lot of them and they are all accurate as far as I can tell.

I did notice that some commits in the /paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.python.git repository predate the creation of the project. How is this possible?

I'm investigating the missing contribution.
