I've never heard of problems with the numbers of files. It is well known that very large files can be a problem but there are some workarounds (eg. git annex). Can you point to where the too many files issue has been discussed? -Brett. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

FWIW, I use git for just about every document I produce (report, paper, presentation). Most of the text is in LaTeX, notes using emacs's dot.org mode and sometime figures or pictures. I have one repo per "project" which is sometimes loosely defined. I don't use git submodules or similar but I do factor out some files to a "common" project (eg logos that get reused in many presentations). Even if I'm the only author it is useful to commit at points like "first draft", "draft for initial comments", "comments from Fred addressed", "final draft", "final final draft" and "final final final dammit I mean it this time draft", etc. When I collaborate on a document I find it essential to put it in git (or other VC). Even if the other user doesn't use git (or other VC) it is helpful to track the contributions they feed you and avoid inadvertently stomping on text that they have modified. I agree with the others that auto-commits would give more problems than help as you wouldn't know which commit was meaningful. I guess you could label all auto commits with an empty message and then look for manual commits with a more meaningful comment (or with an explicit tag) but it's kind of a stretch. For your poems, if they tend to be short, I'd probably come up with some kind of collection rule and put each one in its own repo (eg. all cute bunny poems separate from all self-critical introspections). Oh, and one thing to be mindful of is text lines, particularly if you are using an unformatted source (like LaTeX, HTML, etc). Git wants to compare based on lines so make them as short and atomic as possible. Do try to use line breaks and not long monolithic lines as it makes comparing differences that much easier. This matters a lot when you need to merge two versions (eg two branches or incorporating stuff being fed by had from collaborators). -Brett. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] git-svn and tracking the branches of a partially forked project
Hi, Maybe this has nothing to do with the SVN part but I'd like some advice on how to stay in sync with multiple branches of an SVN project while maintaining my own local modifications in git. I'd like to apply my modifications starting at some early branch and then move them to each subsequent branch in an automated way, or at least one that minimizes conflicts. I've cloned the SVN repository with git-svn and have these remote branches: upstream/trunk upstream/branch/BRANCH1 upstream/branch/BRANCH2 upstream/tags/BRANCH1_TAG1 upstream/tags/BRANCH1_TAG2 upstream/tags/BRANCH2_TAG1 upstream/tags/BRANCH2_TAG2 what I want to end up with is a parallel set of local branches, like: local_trunk local_BRANCH1 local_BRANCH2 local_BRANCH1_TAG1 local_BRANCH1_TAG2 local_BRANCH2_TAG1 local_BRANCH2_TAG2 so that they have my local modifications to the corresponding remote branches. I think it can be assumed that "BRANCH1_TAG1" and "BRANCH1" share a common starting point on the SVN side.

It is never a good idea to put such information into code. At least move it out of the code base and into, say, "~/.myauth" and have the code read the file in. -Brett. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] Suggestion for tracking non-standard SVN layout
Hello,
I have an "foreign" SVN repository that I track with git-svn. It
recently reorganized to be shaped like:
/top/trunk/{Package1,Package2}/
/top/tags/{Package1,Package2}/{per-package-tag1,per-package-tag2,...}/
/top/branches{Package1,Package2}/per-package-branch1,...}/
I typically work from a single tag point and have local modifications.
Periodically, I will pick a new tag and try to rebase on that. I'm
not so interested in mirroring the history in the SVN branches or
tags, but I'd like to mark each SVN tag point in my git repository.
Any suggestions on how to best manage this?
Thanks,
-Brett.

This option is only defined for "git-svn fetch" or "git-svn clone" and not "git-svn init". So it is a mismatch-bug between documentation and code.

[git-users] git-svn and --use-log-author --add-author-from = Unknown option.
Hi, I'm trying to sync one SVN repository to a sub directory of a second one using git-svn. I'll show how I'm mostly successfully doing that below. The problem I'm having is that I want the original commit author names to be preserved in the sync'ed repository. git-svn's man page talks about --use-log-author and --add-author-from which looks like just the ticket, however when I try to use the first to create the upstream connection I get: Unknown option: use-log-author And, similar when I add --add-author-from to create my downstream connection it complains that this flag is also unknown. I'm using 1.5.6.5 and have also tried 1.6.4.4. These flags were supposed to be added in 1.5.4. I tried sussing out the git & git-svn code but didn't get very far and google failed me. Any ideas? -Brett. PS: for the record, and not that the details matter but here is how I am doing the sync w/out the problematic flags (watch for line wrap) # Initialize repository git-svn --id=upstream --svn-remote=upstream init --use-log-author --prefix=upstream/ --user=USER http://upstream.example.com/svn1/package git svn --id=downstream --svn-remote=downstream init --use-log-author --add-author-from --user=USER https://downstream.example.com/svn2/path/to/subdirectory/package git-svn fetch upstream git-svn fetch downstream git-checkout -t -b local-upstream upstream git-checkout -t -b local-downstream downstream # To do a sync: git checkout local-upstream git rebase local-downstream git checkout local-downstream git rebase local-upstream git-svn dcommit git branch -D local-upstream git checkout -t -b local-upstream upstream -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

I use a repository called "dot" that I clone to $HOME/.dot/ and then run a script that will make a few symlinks from locations under $HOME/.dot/... to $HOME/... as needed. For example ~/.dot/emacs/generic.el gets symlinked to ~/.emacs and the generic.el knows to further load things from ~/.dot/emacs/elisp/.
