Hi y’all,

 

I know we’ve had a Gitweb vs Github thing going for years where GIthub is just a mirror.

But I saw something interesting today on Apache Jena’s Gitweb where it seems that they’d merged commits from Github into their master repo.

 

You can see it at https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=jena.git and specifically with https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=jena.git;a=commit;h=466f16558b9cd1a7a930fbb5e2844610ee8fb373.

 

I guess it doesn’t mess with the mirroring because they’re not merging into the Github repositories. Rather, they’re merging in from pull requests, which appear to just be a different type of git ref.

 

I suppose that doesn’t help in terms of tracking things through Bugzilla… but I thought it was interesting nonetheless and thus worth sharing.
