I think it's useful. > Any git gurus out there: is this the "right" way for using git to discuss > patches, or am I missing something? Yes, as much as there is one... My git mirror isn't automatically synced so often falls behind a bit - as it was when you did this (I have just now updated, though). Furthermore, I recently discovered that I collapsed a bunch of svn commits into a single big git commit (the git repo's idea of svn r7100 contains a lot more than the real svn r7100). So, the branch currently labeled "master" in my github repository should not become the cannonical git repository. (Of course, it will be very easy to label the correct branch -- when it gets made -- "master".) Anyhow, now that I've pushed up a more recent master, assuming you want to apply your work onto that, you could either rebase your commits onto the master -- thus ignoring the true historical state you developed them against -- or merge the master branch -- causing the history to be more complicated, as it's no longer linear. And now that we're talking about this, Eric, as the only MPL dev that I know who prefers Hg over git, have you seen http://github.com/blog/439-hg-git-mercurial-plugin and would you be willing to try it out? I'd be very interested to know if it could make a git central repo work seamlessly for both Hg and git clients. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
