Git/Conversion/pywikibot

This page serves as a scratchpad for the pending move of Pywikipedia from SVN -> Git.

Current SVN structure
/archive/Before_multifamily_changes/pywikipedia/ /archive/init3/pywikipedia/ /archive/init2/pywikipedia/ /archive/init1/pywikipedia/ /archive/trunk/ /archive/messages/ /archive/i18n/ /archive/old python 2.3 scripts/ /branches/rewrite/ /trunk/pywikiparser/ /trunk/pywikipedia/ /trunk/spelling/ /trunk/threadedhttp/

Proposed Git structure

 * pywikipedia
 * /trunk/pywikipedia/ -> master
 * /branches/rewrite/ -> rewrite
 * pywikipedia/pywikiparser
 * /trunk/pywikiparser/ -> master


 * There are some notes to be made here - we actually have five distinct repositories at the moment: trunk, rewrite, scripts, families and i18n. Scripts, families and i18n are shared (but not consistently) between trunk and rewrite. I would actually like to split it up further somewhat, but git subrepositories are a PITA, so that might not be the best way to go. In any case, I would like to have trunk and rewrite not as two branches, but as two distinct repositories. Valhallasw (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There is another external named 'simplejson' that when I check out, this is be downloaded. and the repo isn't in wikimedia site and it's in googlecode.com Ladsgroup (talk) 13:08, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed Git structure / valhallasw

 * pywikibot/core
 * /branches/rewrite -> master
 * EXCEPT for i18n
 * SUBMODULE: scripts/i18n -> pywikibot/i18n


 * pywikibot/compat
 * /trunk/pywikipedia -> master
 * SUBMODULE: i18n -> pywikibot/i18n


 * pywikibot/i18n
 * /branches/rewrite/scripts/i18n/ -> master


 * pywikibot/spelling
 * /trunk/spelling

Groups

 * pywikipedia - self managing, allow them to add Gerrit users themselves
 * All users with commit access (Special:Code/pywikipedia/author) should probably get +2? Legoktm (talk) 17:06, 1 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds reasonable as an initial list to populate the group with. Like I said, the group will be self-managing, so pywikipedia developers can add new users to it as they'd like. ^demon[omg plz] 12:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As long as we adhere to a strict '+2 must be from someone else than committer' rule, I'm fine with adding everyone. Otherwise, I'd rather see a smaller group, e.g. xqt, drtrigon and legoktm. The option 'everyone who has committed in 2013' might be even better. Valhallasw (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Just adding people from 2013 sounds like a better idea. I don't know if we have enough active developers to be able to ensure that everything gets +2'd by someone else... Legoktm (talk) 20:22, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 2013 sounds fine, that would end up making the following list (new section to ease formatting). ^demon[omg plz] 01:15, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
