Hi,
I think it is probably time to replace the Savannah Emacs git
repository with just a pointer to repo.or.cz, as originally suggested
in January:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-01/msg00590.html
Having it still advertized on http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/
via the "Source Code" link just confuses people, eg
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7163#35
Thanks.

Of course even better would be to _replace_ the savannah repo with the
one from repo.or.cz (it could simply be a clone, given that it's pretty
much trivial to do so ...).
Not just for yucks -- savannah now supports the git smart-http protocol,
whereas repo.or.cz doesn't, and that can make a huge difference for
those behind firewalls.

Good idea, Glenn.
I suggest that one of the Emacs admins login to savannah
and visit this page:
https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/editgroupfeatures.php?group=emacs
and adjust the "Git" and "Git Web Browsing" URLs.

Whichever can be done.

Yes, it was nice for Savannah Git users that they got an enhanced
transport method within three days of it being requested.

I can remove the existing emacs.git repo and replace it with an empty one.
Then, whoever is pushing changes to repo.or.cz can push to sv.gnu.org, too.
Let me know.

It would be great if the Savannah repo, on addition, supported automatic
updates. The mirror on repo.or.cz is updated manually.

Sure, tho I don't know how easy that is.
[Hopefully in the future, of course, git will acquire a bzr-repo
backend, and so be able to use the main repo directly.]

It's enough if it's made group writable.

Now the "emacs" group has write access to all directories,
but if you're the only one who should be updating it,
it'd be a little safer to make you the owner and remove
group-write permission.

Andreas,
Is it possible to setup a cron job for updating the git mirror on a
regular basis? I guess you don't have enough privileges on repo.or.cz,
but that will improve on Savannah.

I don't have administrator access to savannah.

I don't think it's worth the trouble.
That will just be an annoyance down the line.

If you have a script to mirror /srv/bzr/emacs
to /srv/git/emacs, I can put it in a cron job.
Here are the current tool versions:
$ git --version :
git version 1.7.1
$ bzr --version :
Bazaar (bzr) 2.0.3
Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.5.2
Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5
If a newer version of bzr would help, we should
be able to arrange that.
