Description

multani's avatar @multani reported
Trac ID trac#7036
Type enhancement
Created 2014-03-17 02:46:50Z

If Twisted's repository is to be changed from Subversion to Git, the module which computes Twisted's version from this repository must be updated as well to use information from Git instead.

See Infrastructure/SwitchToGit for more information.

Research direction

Start by reading Infrastructure/SwitchToGit and locating the Twisted module that computes the project version; the issue does not name a file or test. Confirm how the current Subversion-based lookup works, then verify that the version is derived from Git metadata and that the relevant version tests pass.
