Any comments? This is really great work. My comment is to firstly thank you, and secondly is there a chance that this output could be generated automatically from trunk?
I'm generating it automatically from the modularized boost repos. The information about where files are moved to in the modularized repos does not exist in trunk. That information is in Boost2Git as described here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/241061
I think it's easy enough to generate from the modularized repos anyway.
I see, so the graph is an artefact of the mapping done in the modularisation. I would *personally* prefer to see the moving around of files and associated fixups done in the SVN repo before moving to git, because unlike svn once git's history is written, it is forever unchangeable. Also, moving files between git submodules after the git move will lose history. But in the end, so long as the git output can compile, I don't care that strongly.
Thanks, and thanks for the appreciation,
What you're doing will always be underappreciated. I've done your job before on a mature codebase, and it was never ending political problems rather than technical problems. I feel for you, for sure.
