Problem: We need a good strategy to migrate to blender 2.9 without blowing up our checkout (2.7 needs to stay working while we are migrating) and also our repo. Solution: We'll (sorta) follow Subversion's migration strategy:
- the two main folders to migrate are lib/ and scenes/ in the main project folder.
- create branches/blender29/ in main tube/ folder
- create lib/ and scenes/ in the blender29/ folder
- commit these to Subversion
- copy or move (windows) or symlink (linux) lib/maps and lib/maps_low if needed/
- replicate the rest of the folder structures under lib/ and scenes/ (excluding the existing *28/ ) folders and commit these to subversion
- Create a new addon that is a combination of the old sparkleshart and migrate28, that uses svn copy to duplicate the files, and then migration heuristics to change those files.
- Manually check, copying/ changing if needed
- Commit new files
Much later:
- SVN delete the old lib/ and scenes/ file
- SVN rename the folders to switch branches/blender29/ to main/
