Обсуждение: Old git repo
The new git repository will have different SHA1s for all of the commits, so any old SHA1s will be useless without the old repository. Hopefully nobody used links to specific commits (or SHA1s) pointing to the old git repository for anything important. But I found myself doing so occasionally for unimportant things (if it was important, I included the date as a safeguard) -- so I assume a few other people did, as well. Would it be worth keeping the old git repository around in a read-only mode, just in case people have links/SHA1s floating around for it? Regards,Jeff Davis

It might well be, and the cost is low. But if you're talking about gitweb links or so, they'll still be invalid, because it would have to be renamed to "postgresql-old" or something like that... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Perhaps "http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql-before-official-git-migration.git;a=summary" -- http://linuxfinances.info/info/linuxdistributions.html

It would just be nice to have a place to turn to if you have an old SHA1 and no other information; even if it's slightly inconvenient. Regards, Jeff Davis
