Hello,
I try to migrate our old cvs repo to git. However, I still have to following questions that I found difficult to answer with the documentation.
- Is there a way to convert a indexVersion 1 repo to indexVersion 2? (And vice versa?)
- Is there a way to find out if a repository is indexVersion 1 or indexVersion 2 (from the pack/index files)?
- http for git seems to be read-only/fetch. Would it be (theoretically) possible to support write/push (with WebDAV or so)?
- I do not fully understand the implication of 'git repack -a' (or 'git repack -A -d'). Is this bad for remote repos that are used with http? (as '-a' is 'Especially useful when packing a repository that is used for private development and there is no need to worry about people fetching via dumb protocols from it').
- What would be the implication to mount the git repo with nts (or another remote fs). Is it save to use such a mounted repo from more than one computer?
Kind regards,
Thomas
