[rancid] Rancid and Git

[Brown, David M JR]

To whom it may concern,

Apparently this has been brought up a bunch of times.

Original Git Patch...
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2007-March/002152.html

Another mention of the git patch...
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2008-December/003529.html

More poking about git...
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2010-April/004865.html

And yet even more poking around git...
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2013-May/006830.html

The final mention of git support in rancid talks about a rancid fork (essentially) rancid-git whose sole purpose is to support git in rancid https://github.com/dotwaffle/rancid-git.

So, I'd really like to know the answer as to why Git isn't supported in Rancid yet? Most of the patches seem okay and discussion about them seems to have just stopped. The discussion has no mention of whether the patch was going to be supported or not.

So I'd really like an answer to why Git is not supported in Rancid.

Thanks,
- David Brown
