I've been working on matching up the git history with the history from a
|
|
versioned S3 export. Got sidetracked for quite a while building an
|
|
efficient way to get the git history up to a certian depth (including all
|
|
sides of merge commits) without reading the entire `git log` output.
|
|
|
|
The history matching is mostly working now, but there's a problem when a
|
|
rename is exported to S3, because it's non-atomic on S3 and atomic in git,
|
|
and so the histories stop matching up. This is not fatal, just results
|
|
in an ugly git history with the right tree at the top of it. It's
|
|
not entirely wrong; the git repo and the S3 bucket did legitimately diverge
|
|
for a while, so shouldn't the merged history reflect that? The problem is
|
|
just that the divergence is not represented in the opimal way.
|
|
|
|
I hate giving up at the final hurdle, but I feel I need to think about this
|
|
some more, so merging `import-from-s3` is postponed for another day, or
|
|
likely until Monday.
