[Bioc-devel] git help

[Kevin Horan]

Nitesh,

     I tried to re-construct the repo starting from what is left in the 
SVN repository, but I couldn't get all the branches to come over and it 
just generally looks too different to easily replace the bioc repo.

     I was thinking though, if its easy for you to clobber the current 
bioc repo for ChemmineR and re-create it from the old SVN repo (ie, 
because you might have scripts from having done it the first time), then 
that might be an easier fix. Then I can check it out, apply the recent 
changes and push it back.

     But if you don't think that's a good idea, then I'll take your 
offer of help and we can try to figure out how to get rid of the 
duplicate commits. Thanks.


Kevin

Basically, it seems one string of 1000 or so commits has been duplicated twice in the repository, so that there are now 3 copies of each of these commits. This mess is already in the bioconductor repository because in order to allow me to get some last minute changes in for the last release, someone at boic disabled the duplicate commit check for me. That was before I understood the extend of the problem.

I've spent 6 hours trying to fix it myself ( and I am generally good with  GIT), but I've only succeeded in make more duplicates. So I think I'd need to toss all the history up to the last release, which I image I'd need your help to reset the repo on the bioc side as well.
