FYI, further to the previous discussion I have created a libvirt
organization on github and populated the repositories we have. They
are setup in read-only mode and are synced from main libvirt repo
automagically.
https://github.com/libvirtproject

Awesome!
Although seems that my favorite repo is blank at the moment, any ideas
about *ruby-libvirt*?

I've been reading up online and AFAICT, the only way to fix this is to
re-write GIT history entirely in the affected repos. This doesn't change
the content, but it'll invalidate everyone's current checkouts :-(
Perhaps these 3 modules are niche / small enough that we're fine rewriting
history....or maybe Eric knows another workaround ?

Daniel

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. Updating to new commit ids is
not too bad (all the content is the same, so it is just commits and not
file revisions being updated), but it does require downstream checkouts
to do a non-fast-forward. As long as we publicize it correctly, I don't
think it will hurt too many people.

'git help replace' will teach you about git grafts (reparenting a tree
on top of a fixed commit), where people who have cloned from the old
representation don't have to rebase, but new clones pick up the new history.
http://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/17/replace.html
But I don't know if that will help the situation any (other than 'git
replace' makes it easier to to a 'git filter-branch' that rewrites
history correctly).

Honestly, I have very few committers on ruby-libvirt besides myself,
so I would be OK rewriting history on it. I'm definitely not going to
get to it this weekend, but I could get to it next week if someone
else doesn't get to it first. Just let me know if someone does it :).

Hey Dan,
Sorry it took a while, but I re-wrote the history on ruby-libvirt
to get rid of the problematic commit. You should now be able to
mirror ruby-libvirt on github. Let me know if there are any other
problems.
Thanks,
Chris

Both gitlab and github mirrors seem to have stopped working
on July 6, at least for the libvirt repository; Other
repositories such as libvirt-glib seem to be okay.
Cheers.

So github support released the parked github.com/libvirt account. I created an
organization there and gave you admin access but I didn't do anything else, so
no one else can grab it in the interim.
The support guy said you can rename accounts, but not sure if that's specific
to user accounts or applies to groups as well. But if it works for groups
maybe we can delete the /libvirt group and move /libvirtproject to /libvirt so
we don't need to re-sync
