Greetings, The git working group is making final preparations for the cut over in two weeks (currently planned to start December 19). There's one item that's caused some recent problems that we'd like to ask the committer's help on: vendor imports. We've had a few vendor imports of late that have caused problems for the git converter. Imports should be done from the top level so that the merge info winds up in the right place. uqs@ has added code to defensive code to detect the recent problems, but we're not sure it will catch everything. So, over the next two weeks, we'd like to ask that committers refrain from doing vendor imports in the src tree for those cases where delay is possible. For vendor imports that can't wait, due to security or other serious issues, please coordinate with git@freebsd.org before doing the vendor import. If there's a confidential matter, you can contact me ( imp@freebsd.org) or the core team instead. Thanks for your understanding... Warner On behalf of the git working group
