ChangeLog != commit logs. |

There is frequently additional information in the CVS commit messages |
| 16 |
that isn't in the ChangeLogs. ChangeLogs aren't always updated reliably |
| 17 |
either, esp for ebuild cleanups (hi vapier). |
| 18 |

| 19 |
The actual performance of git itself isn't the largest problem. |
| 20 |
The migration issues, esp. the speed of the conversion are. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
My status of the migration side itself hasn't changed since the end of |

October: |

That top item is the largest blocker. The actual conversion time is down |
| 27 |
to 9 hours, but with more than that again in setting it up. I'd like to |
| 28 |
get the conversion time down to UNDER 4 hours. It's mostly |
| 29 |
single-threaded, and we've got lots of cores available, it just needs |
| 30 |
parallelization. We're basically dead in the water during the |
| 31 |
conversion, there is NO incremental support at all. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Side-project to the above: Is there anything link Psyco for Python |
| 34 |
acceleration that works on 64-bit machines? Psyco itself has a warning |
| 35 |
on the frontpage of no 64-bit support. |
| 36 |

pre-upload-hook: ford_prefect, can I have something by Jan 21st please? |
| 38 |
Even just the core C infrastructure for the hook. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
For the partial tree users, the support is actually IN 1.6.6 series. It |
| 41 |
needs a little more cooking I think however, there are some patches |
| 42 |
queued for it, that will probably end up in 1.6.6.1 or similar. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
We DO still need somebody that cares about CVS access to test with |
| 45 |
git-cvssserver against the existing conversion. |
