I want to start using RSpec in an existing project that uses git for

repositories on github don't seem to be set up to help with this at
the
moment though, so I'm looking for some advice. Here're the issues, I
think:
* The last stable release is 1.1.3, but there's no tag in the git
repository to indicate the revision that makes that release. I
think the equivalent commit is
11d7cc9d9a45c957f7a9215b41aa0b9c3d5c236b but...
* The rspec.git repository for the last stable revision actually
includes rspec (and rspec_on_rails) as subdirectories, so if
you
check them out as submodules in vendor/plugins the plugins
themselves aren't in the right place (they finish up in
vendor/plugins/rspec/rspec
and vendor/plugins/rspec/rspec_on_rails).
I can see that both of these issues will disappear when the first real
release from git happens, but in the meantime I feel a bit stuck. Is
there a specific revision of rspec.git (and rspec_on_rails.git) that
is
actually pretty stable, or is master pretty stable and I could just
pick
any revision and find it works fine?
Unfortunately you *are* stuck for the moment. We broke up the
repositories as we did because git doesn't support partial clones
(i.e. you can't just clone one subdirectory of a repo) the way you can
checkout subdirectories of a subversion repository. There's no way for
us to go back and tag the correct commit without you grabbing the full
repository at that time.
I can tell you that I use the current master with no issues, BUT,
there have been some changes to internals that might break your monkey
patches (if you have any). I don't have time to doc them right now
(part of why there has been no release), but if I were in your shoes
I'd grab the latest and see what happens. It's an inexpensive
experiment.
