Description Michael Rennie

2013-04-16 13:06:26 EDT

We would like to have BETA_JAVA8 branches created for the JDT debug repo (http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.debug.git/) and the PDE UI repo (http://git.eclipse.org/c/pde/eclipse.pde.ui.git/). 

Both branches can be based off the current master branch.

Don't the JDT and PDE projects manage their own branches?

-M.

No, I cannot push the new branches to either repo. We can only create committer branches, like /mrennie/mybranch.

Adding Paul, as I thought the idea was that Platform committers would be unable to delete branches, not unable to create them.

The Platform developers have control over their own topic branches of the form <committerId>/branchName.  The pre-receive hook we use prevents top level branch creation as well unless a property is set in the repo on git.eclipse.org:

git config hooks.allowcreatenottopicbranch true


To remove afterwards use:

git config --unset hooks.allowcreatenottopicbranch

I do not have shell access to do this, and Paul is not a committer on those repos (no access), so back to you webmaster :)

Dani is a committer on both projects and has the access required to run the requested git commands.

-M.
