That thread was a followup to this previous thread: |
| 10 |
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/44298 |
| 11 |
Wherein I discussed what Gentoo would need out of Git that wasn't yet |
| 12 |
fully polished in Git (as followup research to see if Gentoo _were_ |
| 13 |
switching to Git, what would happen). The second thread came about |
| 14 |
because somebody else posted a partial prototype, that Linus Torvalds |
| 15 |
then dissected for why it wouldn't work with Git. |

Torvalds notes that if you are taking the file out of the repository, it |
| 18 |
should be done with 'git export' adding revisions during that process, |
| 19 |
but this means that the developers and users get different content :-(. |
| 20 |
As a useful side, our Manifest files already contain the SHA1 of the |
| 21 |
ebuilds, and those are in fact the Git BlobIds, so we do have them |
| 22 |
recorded there, but the Manifest gets regenerated, so it's easy to lose |
| 23 |
them. |

Linus's response on the style of problem you have in copying files over |
| 26 |
to your overlay, is that your overlay should be a Git branch of the |
| 27 |
original tree. |
