Apart from relatively simple commands, git's interface is far from intuitive. That's the reason why I regret that it became the hugely dominant DVCS. Sure, arguably most of the complexity comes from the DAG of commits, and the need to distinguish what is local and what is remote, which are not specific to git at all. But its interface makes things unnecessarily more complicated. It seems it grew up from ad-hoc pieces without much planification and it took a long time before it finally started to get more attention. A typical case were the cathedral would have been much better than the bazaar: Research for a minimal set of concepts required to have it work and model commands after it. Yes, it's not trivial and it takes time, but is usually much better in the end. But it's progressing somehow. Some time ago, 'git restore ' appeared, to replace the stance 'git checkout -- '. It seems they are also trying to do something with new, hopefully more natural, commands, such as 'git switch' to switch branches. I guess this will benefit the next generations of us, since we have to deal with what's available and works in the meantime (and habits). ;-) And while I'm thinking about it: There is also 'git cherry' to check if some changes are in a branch. It doesn't match on the commit hashes but on the file contents. This is not necessary here because SAs specify the relevant commits per branches, but can be very useful to check that some changes were actually cherry-picked in another branch. -- Olivier Certner ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: How do I know if my 13-stable has security patches?
Hi,
In your base git repository, type:
git rev-list | grep -lF
This outputs something ("(standard input)") iff you have it in.
In order to limit the search time in case of a false result, you'd better pass
the --since= to git rev-list.
There is an alternative if you have a branch pointing to your uname hash:
git branch --contains | grep -lF
Regards.

Re: 8.2-PRE: hastd: Compile Error
I make buildworld without problems after that yesturday. Same here. Perhaps someone could add a small entry about that in UPDATING? It seems that this problem is likely to be reported over and over without such a notice.

Re: 8.2-PRE: hastd: Compile Error
That's not a solution for 7-8 upgrade as new lex won't run under 7.x kernel. I can confirm that compiling and installing 'lex' in advance produces a working 'lex' on 7.x. My current understanding is that the procedure mentioned in a previous mail uses the 8.x source but the 7.x tools and headers, so 'lex' then runs correctly, since it also doesn't depend on exotic kernel features found only in 8.x.

Re: poor sound quality in 5.3 stable
Hi, Do you mean that the sound seems unclear all the time? I've also had some problems with sound on my FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE, but a different kind of. Sometimes I hear crakings while playing mp3 files with XMMS, although my computer's load is very low. I use snd_emu10k1 sound module as you do with a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1. There is another driver that may be worth trying here: http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/. I'll give it a pick when I get more time.
