Hi all,
I made my decision a few days ago, and have now moved the whole ctwm
development tree to a monotone database. Here's a crash course on how
to do things:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Initialise database
monotone --db=YOUR_DATABASE_DIRECTORY/db.ctwm \
db init
# Pull the repository
monotone --db=YOUR_DATABASE_DIRECTORY/db.ctwm \
pull repository.lp.se free.lp.se/X.ctwm
# Check out the source
monotone --db=YOUR_DATABASE_DIRECTORY/db.ctwm --branch=free.lp.se/X.ctwm \
co CTWM_WORK_DIRECTORY
# When standing in the working directory, the database is recorded in
# MT/options, and the database itself contains data about the default
# server and collection to use (this got initialised by the first
# monotone pull), so further updates are done like this
monotone pull
monotone update
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you want write access, you have to create a key pair with your
# email address as identity, then extract the public half and send it
# to me.
monotone --db=YOUR_DATABASE_DIRECTORY/db.ctwm \
genkey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
monotone --db=YOUR_DATABASE_DIRECTORY/db.ctwm \
pubkey [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# When you have write access, these are practical operations.
# Add a file
monotone add FILE
# Drop (delete) a file
monodone drop FILE
# Rename a file
monotone rename OLDFILE NEWFILE && mv OLDFILE NEWFILE
# Check the status of currently known files, the variant that only
# shows which files have changed, been added, deleted or renamed.
monotone status
# Check the status of all file in the directory.
monotone automate inventory
# Commit all your changes
monotone commit [--message="message"]
# Commit only selected files
monotone commit [--message="message"] FILE1 FILE2 ...
# Send your changes to the server you pulled from
monotone push
Cheers,
Richard
