How did SVN deal with a rev number in older branches, when you either backported a change from a newer release or committed a change only to the older release? Did it use the same rev number, or give it a new one? (ie, was it the same/shared numberspace?)It gave it a new one (just like backported git revs get new SHAs) but that's not really the problem. The problem is that the user only knows their build was at some particular SHA; they don't know whether the SHA they're interested in came before or after it.
No, but I was already jumping ahead to a possible (crazy) solution. :) Since SVN used a single number space but gave each branch's commits new numbers, you can create a new "revision" string that looks like "<tag>:<number>", where <tag> is the branch tag and <number> is the rev-list count of origin HEAD for each branch. The <tag> keeps them unique per branch, and also quickly tells the user which release branch that change is in. Is there a way to have a hook script that only takes effect when committing into the master branches? (ie, only when you guys cherry-pick and commit a change to the real master/master-x.x repositories?) If so, you could create a script which gets invoked during the cherry-pick commit into master/master-x.x, which inserts this "<tag>:<number>" string into the commit message.[1] For example adds a "Revision: 1.11:12345" to the end of the commit message, similar to the commit-msg Change-ID line. That way backporting also appends additional revision info lines to the commit message, and each one is unique/identifiable by the <tag> portion. Copy that "<tag>:<number>" into the cherry-pick message you guys post on gerrit reviews (or is that scripted too?). And lastly, when the buildbots build a new nightly or tagged release, have them use the rev-list count for the given branch being built, for the binary file name and about-page info in the build. -hadriel [1] making it an atomic operation might be tricky though - dunno anything about how git does that. Might want to have the <number> be stored in a git-controlled file, in each repository? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
