This is an official mirror of V8 SVN repository from Google Code.

The intention behind creating it is to have a full history without a need to wait an hour for git-svn to retrieve it. Clone this repository in less than a minute, and you’re ready to hack!

How to start:

git clone git://github.com/v8/v8.git v8
cd v8

Staying up-to-date:

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout <your-development-branch>
git rebase master

Tracking SVN changes:

git update-ref refs/remotes/trunk origin/master
git svn init -T branches/bleeding_edge http://v8.googlecode.com/svn
git svn fetch

Now you can also update your branch using git-svn:

git svn rebase

Sending code for reviewing

First, you need to configure git-cl:

git cl config
Rietveld server (host[:port]): codereview.chromium.org
CC list: [email protected]
Tree status URL:
ViewVC URL: http://code.google.com/p/v8/source/detail?r=

Then use git-cl upload command.

For project members

Project members do use https:// prefix when accessing SVN, so git-svn generates different commit object for them. To overcome this, we have another branch called bleeding_edge. So, setting up SVN tracking differs a bit:

git update-ref refs/remotes/trunk origin/bleeding_edge
git svn init -T branches/bleeding_edge --username <username> https://v8.googlecode.com/svn
git svn fetch
git branch bleeding_edge origin/bleeding_edge

Committing

Should just work using git-cl dcommit.
