Go 開發團隊技術 leader Russ Cox 發文分享 Go 的版本控制歷史

六一發表於2022-02-25

Russ Cox (rsc)發現每隔一段時間總會有人表示Go 的首次 commit 是在 1972 年 。rsc認為這種說法顯然是非常愚蠢的,並分享了關於 Go 版本控制的更多有趣歷史。例如: Go 真正首次 commit 是第 5 個 commit,此前的都是假 commit。

據rsc 所言,Go 使用過的版本控制系統共有 4 個:Subversion、Perforce、Mercurial 、Git。

Subversion

Go 開始使用 Subversion 是作為評估Subversion在Google內部推廣使用的可行性實驗,雖然最後沒有選擇 Subversion,但正是 Go 真正首次 commit提交到了 SVN 伺服器。

Perforce

2008 年 7 月,Go 在 Subversion提交了最後一次 commit 。此後轉向 Perforce,Go 開源前的大部分開發工作都是在 Perforce 上進行。

下面是 Go 遷移到 Perforce 的首次 commit:

在轉向到 Perforce 後,引入了DELTA=, OCL= 和 CL= 這些標籤。並且許多其他變更具有相同的OCL=和CL=,因為它們是在單個Perforce命令中建立和提交的,沒有經過稽核。

Mercurial

2009 年 10 月,Go 的版本控制系統遷移到Mercurial,作為11月開源Go準備工作的一部分。

Git

從 2009 年 11 月一直到 2014 年末,由於 Google Code Project Hosting 即將關閉,Go 不得已尋找新的程式碼託管方案。在研究了幾個選項後,最終選擇使用 Gerrit Code Review, rsc 認為這是 一個非常棒的選擇。

    encoding/xml: remove SyntaxError.Byte

    It is unused. It was introduced in the CL that added InputOffset.
    I suspect it was an editing mistake.

許多人認為 Go 託管在 GitHub 上,但 GitHub 只是問題跟蹤器的主要來源:原始碼的官方主要副本位於 go.googlesource.com。

至此,這就是Go轉向第五個版本控制系統前的故事。
