Instructions on using git mirror
I've revised my instructions on using the experimental git mirror of the Python SVN repository: http://python.ca/nas/tmp/git-notes.txt Stories of success or failure welcome. Neil
when I get to the step git svn fetch I get the following error: zsh-% git svn fetch Permission denied (publickey). Network connection closed unexpectedly: Connection closed unexpectedly at /opt/local/bin/git-svn line 1385 Is there a prerequisite that I get some kind of ssh key pair setup with the svn repository? I thought that was only for committers. Brad On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 11:21 PM, Neil Schemenauer <nas@arctrix.com> wrote:

Sorry, the instructions don't work for read-only access. I've updated them. You need to use: git svn init http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk for read-only access to SVN. Regards, Neil

We should probably put these, and the Mercurial information on the python.org website, perhaps as siblings of the Bazaar information. Or maybe it should all move to the wiki.

Until we are willing to say these mirrors are not experimental all the instructions should probably go in the wiki. -Brett

Where's a good place for this? I'm thinking three bullets under "Core Development" on this page: http://wiki.python.org/moin/ I certainly don't want to spend my weekend moving all the dev resources into the wiki, but I'd be willing to set up these bullets, move the bazaar pages to the wiki, and set up the redirect. Then the hg and git folks can fill out there own links. Thoughts?

What do you mean "all dev resources"? I am just talking about your experimental bzr page which is probably in reST which makes it a copy-n-paste job into the wiki.

Fine by me.

I've now moved the Bazaar instructions to the wiki.

That's fine, but I think the original poster has a point in using the word siblings. Right now, only Bazaar is prominently displayed on the http://www.python.org/dev/ It's both in the menu on the left side and in the Source Code links in the main content. A newcomer could think that Bazaar is the only DVCS python developers are experimenting with. Supplying links for the Mercurial and Git experimental repos (or wiki pages about them) would put them at least on equal footing with Bazaar in terms of exposure. In terms of technical merit they are obviously on a more than equal footing. :-) Zvezdan

I don't see any point to using Neil's complicated dual-remote git + git-svn setup if you don't have commit access. For that matter, as long as Neil's git mirrors work well, I don't see any point to using git-svn at all if you don't have commit access. The whole idea of Neil's scheme is that you can use (fast) git to pull changes from the git mirrors, and (slow but compatible) git-svn to push changes to svn. Neat and clever, but complex and possibly brittle. If you don't have commit access then you can't push changes to svn anyway, so you don't need the git-svn half of the setup, so you should just git-clone Neil's repo and be happy with the much simpler setup. -- David Ripton dripton@ripton.net
