[OSM-dev] Rails port - current source, and tracking changes

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

now that the rails port has moved to git, is there a way to find out 
which source the servers are currently running? In the past, checking 
out SVN trunk was not a sure bet because SVN trunk might have contained 
any number of changes that had not yet been deployed. Does the new git 
workflow somehow improve this? Will some variation on

git clone git://git.openstreetmap.org/rails.git

magically yield the live version? And is there a way to track changes 
to the live version (as opposed to track stuff that someone has 
uploaded somewhere which may or may not ever go live)?

I realise that this is less of a git question but more of a server team 
workflow question.

Bye
Frederik

No, the only way for that to happen would be if the rails port itself
was changed to output `git describe` on some version page, or if the
live version was otherwise made public.

 git clone git://git.openstreetmap.org/rails.git

While git://git.openstreetmap.org/rails.git may contain changes that
haven't gone live yet it's a pretty sure bet that changes there /will/
go live. So you should track it if you want the real version.
