After going to a git presentation by Randal Schwartz and watching the video by Linus on git, I decided to play with it some for a patch I'm testing in Django. I got git and git-svn installed on my Mac, pulled down the Django source and started a new branch for the patch I'm working on.
What's *really* cool is branches all live in the same directory so you don't have to change your Python site-packages to point to a new branch to test, just 'git checkout branch-name' and Django reloads automatically and you're there. What I can't figure out is how to create a nice patch from git to include into Trac. I tried "git format-patch master" but that outputs something you'd send in an email. I also tried "git diff master" and while this is a lot closer it prepends "a" and "b" to the to path trees. So you'd then have to use "patch -p1 < mydiff", which may be what Trac does by default, I'm not sure. Is anyone else doing this? Is there a better way to emit patches from git?
