Thread: Git mirrors and the release branches
Short summary: A quick (I hope) question about the git mirror. Should I expect git.postgresql.org to have up-to-date release branches (like 8.3) somewhere ? At first glance it seems to me the git mirror at http://repo.or.cz/w/PostgreSQL.git does have up-to-date release branches, but the one at git.postgresql.org doesn't. Longer: At work I'm maintaining a patch that I need to have work against a couple releases of postgres; and would prefer to do this with git over CVS if it's practical. I found a couple git repositories, one of which sounds more official (has .postgresql.org domain) but doesn't seem to have the branches; and another one on repo.or.cz that does seem to have the branches. If I read http://git.postgresql.org/?p=postgresql.git;a=summary heads 7 hours ago master shortlog | log | tree 6 months ago REL8_3_STABLE shortlog | log | tree 20 months ago REL8_2_STABLE shortlog | log | tree correctly, it seems to me the GIT mirror on git.postgresql.org doesn't import checkins to the release branches. In contrast, it seems http://repo.or.cz/w/PostgreSQL.git heads 7 hours ago master shortlog | log | tree 2 daysago REL8_2_STABLE shortlog | log | tree 2 days ago REL8_3_STABLE shortlog | log | tree and in pictures: http://repo.or.cz/git-browser/by-commit.html?r=PostgreSQL.git does at first glance seem to have all the checkins on all the branches. Does git.postgresql.org already has those branches somewhere I'm not looking? If not, is it reasonable to ask that they be added? I can volunteer to do some of the work if someone points me in the right direction to get this done. Or would it make more sense to just use the repo.or.cz repo...

If you got to http://git.postgresql.org/ you will read "Please use the request tracker of the gitadmin project on PgFoundry for any requests, proposals, or issues." If you follow that, you will find a ticket that contains the answer to your question.

AFAIK ppl on that list hang out here as well so you may well get a response here, but if you don't or if you're in a hurry - try that one. //Magnus
