Emacs git conversion is done
Finally. After ten months of work, it’s done. Emacs is fully converted to git. You can clone from git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git and if you have commit rights you can push to it and the changes will stick. The bzr repo is still up but only as an archive.
Technically, this was reposurgeon’s finest hour. I’ve never done a conversion this big and messy before, as I noted in Ugliest…repository…conversion…ever. I had to write major new features to handle the job. I guess the most obvious of these is the macro facility.
I don’t expect to have to do one this difficult again. I fervently hope not to have to do one this difficult again.
As I wrote in Dragging Emacs Forward, my hope is this will let some light and fresh air into Emacs development. New talent, new ideas, revitalizing energy.
Happy hacking, everyone!
