[Bioc-devel] github mirror and svn out of sync

Dear all,

I recently observed that the svn and the github mirror of `ensembldb` is out of sync. Is this something specific to `ensembldb` or is this a general problem? Is there anything I could do to fix this?

I think it is up-to-date now? I think the problem is when several svn 
commits occur in quick succession, and the second tries to sync the git 
repository while the first is still working. I guess the common case is 
when you're working on a git repo and merge it to svn in a way that 
retains the discrete git commits as svn commits.

Each commit triggers this script

   https://github.com/Bioconductor/mirror/blob/master/update_git.py

and these lines (usually the second?) fail

   https://github.com/Bioconductor/mirror/blob/master/update_git.py#L87
   https://github.com/Bioconductor/mirror/blob/master/update_git.py#L90
   https://github.com/Bioconductor/mirror/blob/master/update_git.py#L93

leaving the local git repository in a condition that requires manual 
clean-up.

I guess this requires a more sophisticated implementation, where the svn 
commit adds a task to a time-ordered queue, and the queue waits until 
each previous step has been complete.

Martin

thanks, jo
