This PR changes how we version going forward in the following ways:
* mark-new-version.sh is changed to a new policy of just splitting
branches, rather than the old backmerge policy, as discussed in
vX.Y.0, and a tag for vX.(Y+1).0-alpha.0 back to master.
* I eliminated PRs back to master by making the version/base.go
gitVersion and gitCommit just be `export-subst`. I testing that this
works with GitHub's source export tarballs. There's no reason to
bother with forcing the version into `base.go` (especially twice). The
tarball versions outside a git tree aren't perfect (master looks like
"v0.0.0+hash", and the release branches look more accurate), but our
build contract has never allowed that version is perfect in this
situation, so I think we can relax this.
* That master tag gets picked up by "git describe" on master, so e.g.
master would have immediately become v1.1.0-alpha.0
* In order to be more semVer compatible, the gitVersion field for the
master branch now looks something like 1.1.0-alpha.0.6+84c76d1142ea4d.
This is a tiny translation of the "git describe". I did this because
there are a ton of consumers out there of the "gitVersion" field
expecting it to be the full version, but it would be nice if this
field were actually semver compliant. (1.1.0-alpha.0-6-84c76d1142ea4d
is, but it's not *usefully* so.)
Fixes#11495
that reverts the doc diff.
This changes mark-new-version to create a backmerge branch that will
additionally handle the revert of the doc diff that's now created for
every release.
Sidebar: I really wish I knew a good git visualizer for GitHub - this
thing is going to start creating some awesome Gordian knots of merges.
(Or more like little Omegas, since they basically just change
version/base.go.)
Fixes#10825
This allows us to continue on branched like v0.14.1, v0.14.2, and tag on
that branch. But it will merge those tags into master so git describe
picks up the changes.
This does some git magic to make sure you do not tag a branch with
v0.13.3 unless that branch is a decendant of the release-0.13 branch
upstream.
Don't allow v0.13.4 if v0.13.3 doesn't exit
Don't allow v0.13.3 if v0.13.3 already exits
We keep getting tags and branches wonky. This will land
v0.14.0 as an ancestor of master
v0.14.1 will NOT be an ancestor of master
I can do the later, it only a touch of git gymnastics, not really hard, but
we only occasionably do that today. (0.13.1 is an ancestor of master,
but 0.13.2 is not)
