John,
Love the idea of using Git... why not publish your finished port there as
well as CBTTape?
Generally, we use Eclipse CDT on our workstation for editing C/C++ code,
and then use Ant to do (delta) uploads with either FTP or SFTP. But you
can use Ant by itself.
If you are doing a three-way merge of code, I highly recommend trying
"Meld". Its not a C aware editor, but as a diff/merge tool it is far
superior to Eclipse.
Here's an FTP example of an Ant script (put it in a .xml file in an
"ant-src" directory under your source tree, along with a build.properties
file. Add it to the Eclipse Ant view so that with one click you can synch
your source to z/OS.)
<project name="my-project_upload" default="all" basedir="..">
<target name="all" depends="upload_src" />
<target name="init" >
<!-- Customized properties... -->
<property file="ant-src/build.properties" />
</target>
<target name="upload_src" depends="init" >
<echo message="Uploading source to ${server}:${serverSrcDir}" />
<ftp server="${server}"
userid="${userid}"
password="${password}"
remotedir="${serverSrcDir}"
depends="no"
verbose="yes"
umask="002"
passive="yes"
binary="no" >
<fileset dir="." casesensitive="yes" >
<include name="src/**" /> <!-- customize includes/excludes here -->
<modified/> <!-- creates a cache.properties file in basedir -->
</fileset>
</ftp>
</target>
<target name="clear.cache" depends="init">
<delete file="cache.properties" />
</target>
</project>
