Do you know how the git branches relation will be?
I see three gaia repos:
* gaia
* gaia-central
* gaia-nightly

Thanks a lot!

Below is the plan as it stands now.

> I see three gaia repos:

We are pursuing 2 strategies in parallel, as we're not positive about the first one. Once a strategy is picked, the repos supporting the other strategy will be deleted.

> * gaia

"Gaia" supports the preferred strategy, where the git RoR is converted to a single hg repo using hg bookmarks to track the git branches.

This approach will allow other branches to be added seemlessly to the RoR (e.g. we expect a "stable" at some point).

> * gaia-central
> * gaia-nightly

'gaia-central' and 'gaia-nightly' support the backup strategy where each git branch is mirrored to a separate hg repo. 'gaia-central' will track the 'master' (default trunk) branch. 'gaia-nightly' will track the 'nightly' branch.

Addition of other branches will require standing up additional repos and conversion tooling.

So, we have https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia now....but it has almost 4,000 heads. This means we get these errors when cloning:
➜  b  hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia/
destination directory: gaia
requesting all changes
abort: HTTP Error 413: Request Entity Too Large


Which means it's not very useful to us =\. We don't have the ability to clone over ssh from slaves.

Status Update:
 - single branch per repo now available:
    http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia-nightly <= git nightly branch
    http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia-central <= git master branch

 - still working on reducing # heads in the preferred format repo:
    http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia <= all git branches as bookmarks

https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia-nightly appears to broken now. I'm getting ISE 500 from it, and hgweb doesn't look good.

working now - I believe this was likely caused by a hung hg push to that repo from  the conversion box. The hang was caused by the initial push (large) being rejected by hg for failing to pass the commit-message.py hook. bug 815967 resolved that issue this morning, and no problems have been observed since.

There were some update issues after this, due to configuration on the hg
server. Resolved via bug 815967

  - preferred (bookmarked) format available - only one head per
    bookmark:
     http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/gaia <= all git branches as bookmarks

That completes this work. Please report issues as new bugs.
