1282879 - Move releases/gecko.git to github

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Git, defect)

Description

[hwine]

With the decomission of git.mozilla.org, we need a new home for the official partner facing version of gecko used by the b2g project. (This is a subset, with different branch names, of the mozilla/gecko-dev repo already on github. The shas are equivalent.)

Comment 1

[hwine]

I created a new team within the mozilla-b2g organization on github:
  https://github.com/orgs/mozilla-b2g/teams/b2g-archival

The team will be the owner of:
  https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gecko-partner
which is an import of
  https://git.mozilla.org/releases/gecko.git 
 
The import is currently underway

so, import failed (pack too large), so had to mirror to laptop
  git clone --mirror https://git.mozilla.org/releases/gecko.git
  cd gecko.git
  git remote add downstream git remote add origin [e-mail]:mozilla-b2g/gecko-partner.git

Then push in pieces[1]:
  git config remote.downstream.mirror false
  git push downstream 626da15:refs/heads/master
  git push downstream 98ab079:master
  git push downstream 329e61a:master
  git push downstream 6aa40ed:master

And finally all the rest:
  git config remote.downstream.mirror true
  git push downstream

manually protected branches, as API funky atm.
