Russ Cox (rsc)发现每隔一段时间总会有人表示Go 的首次 commit 是在 1972 年 。rsc认为这种说法显然是非常愚蠢的,并分享了关于 Go 版本控制的更多有趣历史。例如: Go 真正首次 commit 是第 5 个 commit,此前的都是假 commit。

据rsc 所言,Go 使用过的版本控制系统共有 4 个:Subversion、Perforce、Mercurial 、Git。

Subversion

Go 开始使用 Subversion 是作为评估Subversion在Google内部推广使用的可行性实验,虽然最后没有选择 Subversion,但正是 Go 真正首次 commit提交到了 SVN 服务器。

Perforce

2008 年 7 月,Go 在 Subversion提交了最后一次 commit 。此后转向 Perforce,Go 开源前的大部分开发工作都是在 Perforce 上进行。

下面是 Go 迁移到 Perforce 的首次 commit:

在转向到 Perforce 后,引入了DELTA=, OCL= 和 CL= 这些标签。并且许多其他变更具有相同的OCL=和CL=,因为它们是在单个Perforce命令中创建和提交的,没有经过审核。

Mercurial

2009 年 10 月,Go 的版本控制系统迁移到Mercurial,作为11月开源Go准备工作的一部分。

Git

从 2009 年 11 月一直到 2014 年末,由于 Google Code Project Hosting 即将关闭,Go 不得已寻找新的代码托管方案。在研究了几个选项后,最终选择使用 Gerrit Code Review, rsc 认为这是 一个非常棒的选择。

    encoding/xml: remove SyntaxError.Byte

    It is unused. It was introduced in the CL that added InputOffset.
    I suspect it was an editing mistake.

许多人认为 Go 托管在 GitHub 上,但 GitHub 只是问题跟踪器的主要来源:源代码的官方主要副本位于 go.googlesource.com。

至此,这就是Go转向第五个版本控制系统前的故事。
