-=head1 NAME
-
-perlrepository - Using the Perl source repository
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-All of Perl's source code is kept centrally in a Git repository. The
-repository contains many Perl revisions from Perl 1 onwards and all
-the revisions from Perforce, the version control system we were using
-previously. This repository is accessible in different ways.
-
-The full repository takes up about 80MB of disk space. A check out of
-blead takes up about 160MB of disk space (including the repository). A
-build of blead takes up about 200MB (including the repository and the
-check out).
-
-=head1 GETTING ACCESS TO THE REPOSITORY
-
-=head2 READ ACCESS VIA THE WEB
-
-You may access this over the web. This allows you to browse the tree,
-see recent commits, search for particular commits and more. You may
-access it at:
-
- http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git
-
-=head2 READ ACCESS VIA GIT
-
-You will need a copy of Git for your computer. You can fetch a copy of
-the repository using the Git protocol (which uses port 9418):
-
- git clone git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl.git
-
-This clones the repository and makes a local copy in the 'perl.git'
-directory.
-
-If your local network does not allow you to use port 9418, then you can
-fetch a copy of the repository over HTTP:
+=encoding utf8
- git clone http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl.http
-
-This clones the repository and makes a local copy in the 'perl.http'
-directory.
-
-=head2 WRITE ACCESS TO THE REPOSITORY
-
-If you are a committer, then you can fetch a copy of the repository that
-you can push back on with:
-
- git clone ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/gitroot/perl.git perl.ssh
-
-This clones the repository and makes a local copy in the 'perl.ssh'
-directory.
-
-If you clone using git, which is faster than ssh, then you will need to
-modify your config in order to enable pushing. Edit .git/config where
-you will see something like:
-
- [remote "origin"]
- url = git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git
-
-change that to something like this:
-
- [remote "origin"]
- url = ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/gitroot/perl.git
-
-NOTE: there are symlinks set up so that the /gitroot is actually optional.
-
-=head1 OVERVIEW OF THE REPOSITORY

-Once you have changed into the repository directory, you can inspect it.
