From 74f4c9e3bcdb3c4ca919623086e92a9379bd81ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Ohly Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:09:41 +0100 Subject: combo-layer: partial import for '--history init' The new "since_revision" property can be used to cut off the imported history at some point. This is useful to keep the resulting repository smaller while still preserving enough history that "git annotate" reports the right author and commit for most lines. The initial, squashed import commit shows up with "unknown" as author in the "git annotate" output. It has the repository name as prefix in the subject line; importing that commit works best with a layer hook which does not add the repository name again when it is already present. Adding it here is useful for hooks which do not extend the subject line.
