This is a relatively recent thing. This -dev post from February 24 refers: <https://mail.gna.org/public/freeciv-dev/2013-02/msg00609.html> (sorry, self-signed certificate on gratuitously-https site) > Do I need to do anything other than `make maintainer-clean` to > operate in this manner, or are there other tricks that are important > if porting patches to stable branches for accurate testing? I have a single git repository that I synchronise with upstream with git-svn. I don't have one working directory per branch because of fears about what happens to the svn metadata when you clone. Until recently, it's been sufficient to "git checkout S2_4" then "make" -- it re-runs autogen as necessary, remembering my options to 'configure', and options only applicable to newer branches don't faze older ones -- it requires a rebuild from clean, but ccache and a fast machine make this bearable. (No need for git reset of any kind.) Post patch #3230, my procedure for switching between trunk and older branches is: $ make maintainer-clean $ git checkout <new-branch> $ ./autogen.sh --no-configure-run $ ./configure [my-favourite-configure-options] CC="ccache gcc" CXX="ccache g++" $ make ccache is still effective at making this more or less tolerable. But I should probably look into how hard it would be to maintain multiple working directories while using git-svn, since this is all a bit mad. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
