Emacs git conversion is done
|
|
<p>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.</p>

<p>Technically, this was reposurgeon’s finest hour. I’ve never done a conversion this big and messy before, as I noted in <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=5634">Ugliest…repository…conversion…ever</a>. I had to write major new features to handle the job. I guess the most obvious of these is the macro facility.</p>

<p>I don’t expect to have to do one this difficult again. I fervently <em>hope</em> not to have to do one this difficult again.</p>

<p>As I wrote in <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=5211">Dragging Emacs Forward</a>, my hope is this will let some light and fresh air into Emacs development. New talent, new ideas, revitalizing energy.</p>

<p>Happy hacking, everyone!</p>
