We (someone?) definitely needs to do something here. I'm sitting here now
having cloned the fgdata-new repository with zero aircraft and zero
instructions for fetching them. I know enough git and I know the root path,
so I could go do this -- but for 350 aircraft, this would be weeks of manual
work interleaved with lots of waiting to get all of them and then a major
pain to update them all in the future or notice and fetch new aircraft.
Sure we can script it out, but do I have 2-3 days right now to fiddle with a
script? Not this week myself.
What about new users coming to the project? We need to have some
instructions and a reasonable mechanism that works for everyone.
Right now we've replaced a one-line command with several weeks of manual
work. (Or so it appears.) I understand the reasons, and we need to move
forward, but I think this is a logic gap here -- an unforeseen side effect,
and a problem we (someone) needs to scramble on to address.
Anyone have any good ideas? Can anyone knock something out quickly?
With svn you can just checkout the top level, or checkout any subtree
underneath that individually. Is there any similar concept with git?
Thanks,
Curt.
