Hi all,
I have written up a short guide to contributing to QGIS using git and
the source code clone we have created on GitHub. This allows you to work
within your own distributed version control system and easily submit
your bug fixes and enhancements to the project without having to obtain
write permissions to the centralized SVN repository.
See http://spatialgalaxy.net/2010/12/27/contributing-to-qgis-using-git/
Uhm... sounds scary.
As I've been doing git-svn for postgis [1] and geos [2] too I wonder
how do you plan to import changes people submit to other git repo.
Wouldn't all those commits need to be re-written for submission to
SVN ?
I mean, in case you'll ever use submitted changes, the public repositories
used for requesting the pull _from_ would need to be rewritten to be
in sync with git-svn, resulting in a mess. Or am I missing something ?
(I'd love to be missing something )
The GitHub repo is in sync with the QGIS svn repo. We can pull changes
down to my local repo (it is able to pull/push from/to GitHub and also
SVN). So to accept a contribution, I would branch my local copy, pull
the changes, test, and merge back into master. Then use git-svn to
dcommit the changes into the centralized QGIS repo. Change get pushed
back to GitHub.
