Anyone who wants to try and contribute more I highly recommend using GIT. It's actually nice to use and I would say it was a success.


This is interesting - it's something I've wanted to try for a while and it's a good idea to try new things and find a better way of working with people that want to help.

If it's going to be used more often beyond the experiment - I have some questions :) I only have a general idea of how this works, so apologies for the possible newbie questions in there.

Firstly - you mentioned in your original post [1] that you were setting up a legal framework for the contributions. What was the resolution to this in general?

Next, how can other committers get visibility into what the contributors contributed? Much like a patch, it all gets committed under one ID, but in that case we have the original contribution in JIRA. Is there a way we'll be able to see what it was at some arbitrary point in the future?

Finally, how do other committers go about merging a branch back into the mainline svn repository?

Thanks,
Brett
