Have a look at Repo: https://code.google.com/archive/p/git-repo/ It is used by Android devs.2 авг. 2017 г. 12:28 пользователь "David Quintana (gigaherz)" <gigaherz@gmail.com> написал:The issue comes when we have to do regression-testing.

After David has successfully tested a first SVN -> Git conversion of our repo, here comes the next challenge: Finding a way to preserve our current modularization into reactos, rosapps, rostests and paving the way for even more modularization.
My vision for the future is a small "core" repo that only contains our host tools and SDK. We could also split off subprojects like fast486/ntvdm or Paint into individual repos. Now that Microsoft has abandoned them under Windows, they may individually attract developers who would never hack on the entire ReactOS repo. Furthermore, 3rd party components could be imported through their repo instead of copy-pasting their code without history (as we do now).
Even if that vision is a distant goal, the technology for it is already required for a reactos, rosapps, rostests modularization.
Isn't that a perfect scenario for Git submodules?
Not sure: I'm not aware that they support the concept of optional modules. You could only check out the "core" repo with all defined submodules. This would make it impossible to use "core" only to build Paint. There also seem to be other drawbacks when using submodules: https://codingkilledthecat.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/why-your -company-shouldnt-use-git-subm odules/
Alternatives like Git subtrees, Google Repo, and Gitslave exist, but there is even less information about them. Furthermore, I think a good integration into GUI tools like TortoiseGit is also a requirement for most of us.
David and I have started to write down our findings: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ey1xdS_0GcG7p7ZgHZBh4A3V Mq2uxyw5MpnUXbT8z6w/edit
Your input on this is very welcome!
I guess any migration to Git is blocked before we have a solution here.
Cheers,
Colin
