There are `entomologist-data` branches "in the wild" that have issues
|
||||||
|
with tags files, so we need to migrate those somehow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We discussed a couple of ways to do this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Have the ent library do it automatically and transparently when it
|
||||||
|
comes across an old-style tags file. In `Issue::new_from_dir()` we'd
|
||||||
|
detect the old format, parse it, then immediately delete the file,
|
||||||
|
write the new format directory, and commit the result.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is good:
|
||||||
|
- It's easy for the human
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is bad:
|
||||||
|
- entomologist will need to carry along this crufty code until we
|
||||||
|
think there are no more old-style repos in existence
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Make a stand-alone tool (like the `set-done-time` tool in
|
||||||
|
<https://git.glyphs.tech/taproot-manufacturing/entomologist/pulls/27>.
|
||||||
|
The ent binary does *not* know how to read the old tags file, and will
|
||||||
|
error out if it comes across an issue with such a file. The human
|
||||||
|
would then manually run the tags-representation updater tool.
|
||||||
|
This tool would make the git worktree, walk the issues, find the
|
||||||
|
old-style tags, rewrite them in the new format, and commit the result.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is good:
|
||||||
|
- Keeps the core entomologist code clean and "modern".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is bad:
|
||||||
|
- This tool does manual/direct manipulation of the on-disk format,
|
||||||
|
which means it duplicates a lot of what the entomologist library
|
||||||
|
does.
