Recycloid initial source import failed

Hi,

Seems like http://www.ohloh.net/projects/recycloid is stuck.

Is there anything I can improve to make it more interoperable? The git repository in question, which I made just for Ohloh, is actually a mirror of a bzr repository (hint :)).

Thank you for a great service.

Hi Mikko,

I think there is a problem in this Git repository.

In one of the commits, a single file is listed twice:

commit 34e306593b69ce5f84bde50bf30c0273f6539803
Author: Mikko Värri vmj@linuxbox.fi
Date: Fri Feb 1 03:34:50 2008 +0200

[project @ vmj@linuxbox.fi-20080201013450-81xul00w6qj78i2a]
Corrected method name.

:100644 000000 840581e... 0000000... D src/org/recycloid/data/RecycloidStash.java
[ ...more files... ]

Is the file deleted, or is it modified? Our system (correctly) rejects this commit.

Your hint seems to imply that it would be a simple matter to use conversion tools to support bzr... while this is a fine strategy, I don't think the tools are quite ready.

Hi Robin,

Yes, you are correct: when you play with fire you get burnt :)

When I made the mirror I only tested it with git clone, diff -r --brief *bzr-brach* *git-branch* and a quick look at git log and assumed it's fine.

Closer look at the commits show that it's far from OK. That change you pointed out really is a one-line change, but git log -p shows a lot of file deletions going on.

So, I'll delete the git mirror and wait for you guys to implement Bazaar support. That's actually what I was trying to hint at in the first post :)

Thanks for your hard work on this forum, Robin.
