Git Migration

On 10/30/2010, the official OpenEMR repository was moved from cvs to git on Sourceforge.

The massive sourceforge thread that discussed this migration can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/1412511

Plan to put more details on the migration, git settings, and mirroring mechanism here.

Some Migration details:

• PROBLEM: When compared the cvs and git repositories, all tags/branches were identical, except for the v3_1_0 tag and the rel-310 branch.

• SOLUTION: Did not include the rel-310 branch in the migration. Will rebuild it after the migration. While rebuilding rel-310 will also add a v3_1_0_FIXED tag with appropriate code. So will require following steps:

1. Create a rel-310 branch off the rel-320 branch in the git repo.
2. Create a diff patch between rel-320 and v3_1_0 in cvs; use the cvs diff which can be used to ignore differences in EOL and not include cvs versioning lines. Apply this patch and commit to rel-310 branch, and then tag this with v3_1_0_FIXED.
3. Create a diff patch between rel-310 and v3_1_0 in cvs; use the cvs diff which can be used to ignore differences in EOL and not include cvs versioning lines. Apply this patch and commit to rel-310 branch.
