A git repository question

A git repository question

[Harald Hanche-Olsen]

Is there a way to dig the actual 23.1 release out of the git
repository at git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git ? I can see handy tags
like EMACS_22_3 there, but no EMACS_23_1. Or does the release exist
only as a tar ball?

It doesn't seem like it's marked, but revision f9b3f7 should be the  
23.1 release.

That was my guess too, but etc/NEWS is different in the two.
Here is the one in the tar ball:

-rw-r--r--  1 hanche  admin  76351 Jul 29 21:13 emacs-23.1/etc/NEWS

whereas the one in the revision you mention was last changed here:

commit 32c3a1505ee77fcde1489d9629deb61703f5372b

The Emacs 23.1 release has its own CVS tag (EMACS_23_1).

That answers my last question, thank you. But then the lack of this
tag in the git repository is a shortcoming in the cvs-to-git
conversion process, no?

When cvsps cannot find a changeset corresponding to a CVS tag it usually
means that the tag wasn't set in a consistent way (based on commit
time).  In the case of the EMACS_23_1 tag I don't know why it didn't
work.

That helped, actually. The closest commit I can find in the git
repository is this one (in case anyone is interested):

commit 0afb8ff02587d1e6928e8747e161880933946137
Author: Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 30 01:14:15 2009 +0000

    Patch from Kim F. Storm:
    Add `...' around Lisp symbols.
    Remove duplicate entry.

The only difference of substance I can see between that commit and the
release seems to be that 0afb8ff has lisp/progmodes/gdb-mi.el while
23.1 has gdb-ui.el.

I'll let y'all get back to whatever you were doing now.
