I'm wondering, since we have a git mirror already for uima projects, if that could allow those who want the advantages described to work with git? e.g.
git://git.apache.org/uima-uimafit.git <git://git.apache.org/uima-uimafit.git> and https://github.com/apache/uima-uimafit from https://git.apache.org/ That page also mentions a link to how to set up git svn dcommit support, which allows pushing changes from git back into svn. I haven't used this myself... But it kind of looks like we might already be able to use git environment if we want? -Marshall On 11/10/2017 10:34 AM, Richard Eckart de Castilho wrote: > On 01.11.2017, at 11:46, Joern Kottmann <kottm...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Indeed it is true that many people have a hard time to get started >> with git, and it was also the same for me, but once you get it, it >> seems very natural way of doing things because it allows to influence >> every commit to the last detail before you send it in via a PR and >> merge it. > There is something related in SVN that I find increasingly annoying > now that I know git: SVN does not support committing partial changes > from a file. > > In git, I can inspect all changes in my workspace and if a file > contains some changes I want to commit and some that I don't want > to commit, then I can simply select which lines should be included > and which not.
