Re: [git] configuring Hudson build job for multiple Git repositories

John,

The new version of the wiki page says
very large repositories may be cumbersome to work with.  What's your
definition of "very large"?

This is off your topic, but I think
the suggestion on that wiki page of having one Git repository per plugin
is far too fine-grained. There are trade-offs either way and I suspect
opinions differ. I have added more information to the wiki page on what
those trade-offs are, to help people make more informed decisions.

Subject	[git] configuring Hudson build job for multiple Git repositories

Hi, 

I need some help configuring Hudson to build my project after its migration
from CVS to Git. 

We migrated from one CVS repository to several Git repositories, thanks
to statements like "Typically, one Git repository (.git) is created
for each logical unit, or grouping of code -- a plugin, a connector, a
component, and so on." in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Git/Migrating_to_Git
.  I want the code from all of the Git repos to be compiled together
by one Hudson job, but I haven't succeeded yet. 

Hudson's build config page allows you to specify as many Git repos as you'd
like, but I just read in the Hudson Book http://wiki.eclipse.org/The_Hudson_Book
that "Providing multiple repositories only makes sense when they are
clones or instances off the same repository, since they will be used for
merging together the content prior to the build."  That's not
what I'm trying to do.  Each repository contains a distinct set of
plugins. 

In order for my build to work, the files from all repos must be extracted
to the same directory in the Hudson workspace.  But Hudson is removing
the previous contents of the directory each time it fetches files from
a repo.  I end up with only the files from the last repo.

I tried telling Hudson to put each repo's files into a different place,
but then javac couldn't find them. 

I appreciate any help you can give me. 

-Matt
