CouchDB has a useful page [1] about contributing using Git which could be adopted. I especially like there emphasis on creating branches for tickets.
For the newbies, the main Git site [2] has loads of information including the free 230 page Pro Git e-book. If you have 15 minutes to spare you could try the nice 15 minutes interactive tutorial [3] [1] http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/ContributorWorkflow [2] http://git-scm.com/ [3] http://try.github.com/levels/1/challenges/1 -- Jeroen van der Wal Stromboli b.v. +31 655 874050 On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 9:02 AM, Dan Haywood <[email protected]>wrote: > The vote was to select between: > > 1. carry on using svn. > 2. use git.apache.org as a read-only clone, with svn remaining as the > master. > 3. use git.apache.org as a read/write master. > > The community voted for (3). > > Votes cast: > - for (3): > +4 PMC (Dan Haywood, Jeroen van der Wal, Robert Matthews, Kevin Meyer) > +4 community (Henry Saputra, Matthew Adams, Giedrius Grazevicius, > Vangjel Stavro) > - no preference stated: > +2 PMC (Mohammad Nour El-Din, Dave Slaughter) > > No other votes were cast. > > > I am now closing this vote, and will raise a ticket with INFRA to effect > the change.
