com.sap.poc.jgit.storage.jdbc
-----------------------------

This package is a prototypical implementation (proof of concept, thus packaged
in com.sap.poc) of the (not final) org.eclipse.jgit.storage.dht.spi interface.
It binds JGit's generic DHT storage to JDBC.

The code is based on patch set 11 of Shawn Pearce's JGit change "RFC Store Git
on any DHT" (http://egit.eclipse.org/r/2295). Furthermore Shawn's JGit DHT
storage implementations for Apache Cassandra (https://github.com/spearce/jgit_
cassandra) and Apache HBase (https://github.com/spearce/jgit_hbase) have been
used as 'reference implementations'.

This version has been successfully tested on a PostgreSQL database (version
9.0.3-1). As a test repository, JGit itself was pushed and cloned. The current
version works with PostgreSQL only as it uses data type 'BYTEA'.

Here are the steps to try it out:

1. Download and install database software

2. Start database server
      e.g. PostgreSQL:
        initdb -D <...>/data -E UNICODE
        postgres -D <...>/data

3. Create database
      e.g. PostgreSQL:
        createdb <database>

4. Download JDBC driver

5. Copy driver to JRE's lib/ext directory

6. Build jgit-jdbc.jar

7. Create schema
      java -Djdbc.drivers=<fully-qualified-class-names> -jar jgit-jdbc.jar \
        jdbc-create-schema git+jdbc+<vendor>://<host>:<port>/<database>

      e.g. PostgreSQL on localhost:
        java -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver -jar jgit-jdbc.jar \
          jdbc-create-schema git+jdbc+postgresql://localhost:5432/<database>

8. Initialize repository
      java -Djdbc.drivers=<fully-qualified-class-names> -jar jgit-jdbc.jar \
        jdbc-init git+jdbc+<vendor>://<host>:<port>/<database>/<repository>.git

      e.g. PostgreSQL on localhost:
        java -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver -jar jgit-jdbc.jar jdbc-init \
          git+jdbc+postgresql://localhost:5432/<database>/<repository>.git

9. Start JGit daemon (with 800M)
      java -Xmx800m -jar jgit-jdbc.jar jdbc-daemon --enable receive-pack \
        git+jdbc+<vendor>://<host>:<port>/<database>/<repository>.git

      e.g. PostgreSQL on localhost:
        java -Xmx800m -jar jgit-jdbc.jar jdbc-daemon --enable receive-pack \
          git+jdbc+postgresql://localhost:5432/<database>/<repository>.git

10. Push
       git push git://<host>/<repository>.git master

11. Clone
       git clone git://<host>/<repository>.git
