Somewhat disconnected from myself
The site is showing inconsistent data for me. I registered as 'bimargulies', then discovered that I was already present as Benson Margulies at Apache CXF, so I pushed the necessary buttons, and now various places disagree. CXF claims I have kudos, my home page disagrees, my home page doesn't show my CXF commits, etc, etc. Do I need to do anything?
Hi Benson,
It looks like your account was linked to the old Subversion committer name, which does not match your new Git committer name. I've made the fix and updated the report, so everything should be OK now.
The kudos are recalculated once per day, so if you are missing some kudos, I would expect them to come back in the next nightly update.
Let me know if there are any more problems,
Robin
OK, but where does GIT come into it? No project I work on uses GIT.
The precise sequence was:
1) Ohloh had my listed as Benson Margulies in Apache CXF (with svn committer name bimargulies). I didn't know.
2) I created an account called bimargulies.
3) I clicked on the 'this is me' link in CXF and connected them.
Back on January 5, dkulp add this repository to Ohloh:
http://jukka.zitting.name/git/r/cxf.git
In this repository, your name was listed as Benson Margulies
. It's entirely possible that you never used Git, and that this repository was created offline by converting the existing Subversion repository -- I don't know; it's wasn't my doing.
Some time today, user dkulp removed this Git repository and replaced it with:
http://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk
In this Subversion repository, your committer name is bimargulies
.
After the repositories got swapped, your Ohloh account was left hanging because it was associated with the wrong committer name.
In my original explanation, I had the Git and Subversion backwards regarding new
and old
-- that's because this is the first time I can ever recall seeing a repository switch from Git down to Subversion :-). I apologize for any confusion this caused.
I suspect that dkulp is experimenting with a Git conversion of the Subversion repository, and that this experimenting has been causing hiccups on Ohloh.
I researched this with Dan at the same time that you were looking into it. The git repo was there as a temporary expedient to help people see history across the transition from inside the incubator to TLP status at Apache. He removed it when I pointed it out to him today :) Ah well, my ego will have to survive even if I never see those kudos.
