Hello everybody,
One possible solution would be to autogenerate ‘mr’ configuration files. In
addition it would allow a transition where some packages would be in SVN and
some in Git. I have explored a bit that direction for a much smaller project,
pkg-eucalyptus:
http://wiki.debian.org/pkg-eucalyptus#Cross-repositorycheckout
Depending on the pre-requirements that are chosen, the mr file can be kept
reasonably simple, for instance if developers are requested to have the
DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environmental variables set, and Host and User
variables appropriately set in .ssh/config.
Regarding speed, Tim's comments are very relevant. If each checkout is a new
SSH connection, it takes ages. Another problem for which I do not know a
solution is that there does not seem to be a possiblity to revert easily a
mass-commit.
Have a nice day,
