[llvm-dev] RFC: Deleting git-svn folder (git-llvm, git-svnrevert, git-svnup)
For some reason this thread seems to be gone in a wrong direction. I'm sorry for that. The discussion on the RFC asked for a reason to keep the script, I think we heard reasons to do so (due to branches). Now, I was unable to determine if the `git llvm` scripts was removed "just as part of the bunch" or if we expect a problem with the script. If it is the former, are there reasons against adding it back?

[llvm-dev] RFC: Deleting git-svn folder (git-llvm, git-svnrevert, git-svnup)
I think the only reason is whether or not we want to encourage anything as part of them or whether we want "llvm specific" commit advice/instructions/etc where we want people to use these for sure. That said, git isn't the most command line friendly of VCSs for me so if we want to have something that makes things just a little easier I'm down, but would like to see what we expect them to do documented (here?) and ... documented (on the web page).

I did not expect that was happening. I was hoping it would allow us to solve common problems, .e.g., what we learn form the threads asking how to deal with git directly.

[llvm-dev] RFC: Deleting git-svn folder (git-llvm, git-svnrevert, git-svnup)
FWIW, I'm not against people using the script if there's a good reason for it, but I'd be somewhat opposed to mandating it, as that could easily get confusing for people like me who work in both downstream and upstream repos who wouldn't want to use the scripts downstream - it would be fairly straightforward to forget to use it/use it incorrectly, and depending on what the script actually does, this could cause various unwanted side effects, which may not even be noticed immediately. On Tue, 12 May 2020 at 23:30, Eric Christopher via llvm-dev < llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote:> I think the only reason is whether or not we want to encourage anything as > part of them or whether we want "llvm specific" commit > advice/instructions/etc where we want people to use these for sure. > > That said, git isn't the most command line friendly of VCSs for me so if > we want to have something that makes things just a little easier I'm down, > but would like to see what we expect them to do documented (here?) and ... > documented (on the web page). > > Thoughts? > > -eric > > On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 3:25 PM Johannes Doerfert < > johannesdoerfert at gmail.com> wrote: > >> For some reason this thread seems to be gone in a wrong direction.
