-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Another word to clarify some stuff said too enthusiastically about git which might otherwise give a wrong impression:
1) For rewriting history (removing big files etc) one must have sufficient access to the copy of the repository to be rewritten. Users who have already cloned your repository will still have a copy of the old history. Additionally if you rewrite history so that the SHA1 hashes of you branches change users most likely get an error next time they pull. So history-rewriting changes must usually be coordinated. For some stuff there are workarounds thou (e.g. a .mailmap file). 2) Pull requests are not a feature of git, but a feature of portals hosting git, e.g. GitHub, Gitorious etc. So you don't get pull requests automatically when you host git yourself (unless maybe one uses GitLab or self-hosted Gitorious). 3) There is no automatic per-directory/file level repository permissions support in Git. One either has read-write/read-only or no access to the whole repository. It is probably possible to deny certain write access on the server side using git hooks, but it requires some programming. Afaik GitHub, Gitorious etc don't allow such hooks to be set up by users. But then again: Do we need such permissions or do we trust developers? The core developers can still correct each other when they mess up. I see no need for such permissions for Sword. If there's someone you don't trust, don't give them write access and let them file a pull requests instead, which can safely be reviewed before pulling them into the main repository. Blessings, Jaak PS: When BibleTime switched to git we chose Gitorious over GitHub because of the Terms of Service of GitHub at that time which were unacceptable for me. But afaik they've changed their terms by now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQgcBAEBAgAGBQJTDlTVAAoJELozJlbjIn79pmBAAIKZ1TdYA4ucMHztkR9ALaGr 4GgBhMOdecq9H7QcVrrlZ2oLtoO80uV09GDrPnL5YlAua5WYG4+NRHDZ9yRUQ1qO yVjAotSPf6xvzXYNQ8F7DqpsxWMIE197ex6PtvDzTAWxkQMMPOxchLH80b2K2tT/ vhsRwWJDc527P3nfY5sH9yKjGtaxEy1OPtvz/hJKreRC1UIrJ9Zzw0FFNXHcdb2p 5vOlQePwvQcWZHvwjKdA34KM5XU11YYP6ZaXucn3OLoXLtcaN+QEeIzubC19Flfc prm01G82SxSU4Nx832Xec15QOcgGiftK5BA1qnUtIzFg7N77R5rURFqEIcfB1lXM 62kd4r7Cdr9TfQfD7NscOQ63eqYxSqbJTKpZGPi9pHvxY7tXijJWPXS0Y8gZefMT g/1Kn1Vx1p6HrvgsVSRjTDLCxEcEdcDmIL/icBeEI8K+9biMg0wRR9kjba7aaAzI wGVFpZhbV0en4N3M2EgdQOL/Q2M9PTj6O6IbGrkyk1SvxZwEkOHp3e3rv2R8wc7D ifExNXO5CNWNv6jO+TWQe5B2R21SpgXolLuff7EK3uwe0JZE7FltfJouuOVNtt8P 4hrXkjOGSwWD09S+tlesaky8e/ykvD66x1FT62n+NZzBr7O1NkInJ7VAQwfwKYLo EmspIHEUY4+XRlgtr1y4V8db+/WmcjGMehZOEvgVDH0v10Rh+QI9wLUq/EONcvMe oHcj7BNP5CRdHg6hf9fbprbkVmD/Bm5ltodgLtmeou+5ziRBKAgyVqBEr+W6yJfn DLVLnAF7bOPCscOYCqBHgigVGx9NE8Tc/Gvpu/TiL9XyZVbULhj3tXezJrP+dEnH DCJTKLJwCVtO8EGtO649axR4z8H4knuq+/Uiw2XSGpW3RspF7Huvhg8wRqH719Fm fFNebZS7HiUPaj45jqY3gffFsNegtCrUY4xe+w5lz4lj8YgpErUriT2hWe6RTz1S lP87biN0WYjN4w1Tpa/4I7PIlm/foAtF7frF0uJydu1MxRvGtNiRjk2MShCucu9v jyrUq7KA7P/ZGJlIyMwrw5+abRMEcl9bGyJpMDJj8QPLaEW0SJMIb7doAVf28/g3 BM9bRnMgN8t0uGxSTr5vBkIAMksLtNN1NSi8kIZ1Un1YpSwsqTUTiZDezHAdeP+4 JMYIZQRH4tAsGtn5ANLLctS8Z52l2N3omBjTRPa+5qDmQpNnGQjk6PBl7NZrT277 pRezaxA4M7fGKtRSaBEYJOIK4tGHCZazLehzNQWHTjJPV5ozCJBSE5wDCjmhDGUU K0g3iqzKKyuAKxP3JxAO+TQVTEJ62dbvvW+KkrPujVNrUOLGMAATYFLSW50Dbhht JFd+AE74uE9IhTE+ALyjGoBxtorFVMW/kiKTCCpV0mvxgBQbFigCaVvm0J7+HOPY 6n02XgXCNJyj+oZrH3vDBTcGBNpFjBjLT3ricS+kTuL1KlinnTHSIbu2rFGy+xCd HqYCkulg1NzK39MBqpWVIWOiTfavxOhfgXuEHW8Dhd9LkZI/m3YYq0DXwC47y+VT jJYC5DmalzMVObgmzjQWc+SUkvl8LPGADhhlp7KBa3mCSPmZrQi85mEwMShYa0TM wUL7fT1ECyRsT9rdcMwe6oxz74gTHge06f8OyPlL+OlcMFpDfRzYTKgx2hADu5PW gXSRm8CEkFGHOkrIScriZxjJxwJy/Ovlrll/+lgHyvBYYBL5GHb6EJcMNQqhbt0D ousff0aY4Sv6sWh8qojjxuEUarxJnaBh0C9hCAf6Wp44efKcq6Pg5I4lYvjHWNST sU+7NIcL9M3ZAGiOaFZHVMrpiOyPa5jt+S0nNbo8ypoO/1enXG/iVkcAWVFp+WqG zr1eUZ6IQ5aQaYIDJPgh3aKQGG/FQZnf8HmIkacOsvGtHYSG4X0fjW7bC44RN4it 113iFZUCf/WK/B27NqJ/8u0To2HKovj1TejDjP/PcmFN/37YhzlkLJqPm9tq3UPd 6c+78vCBEhP548xsjSfs/j41dUkg+00WiGK5dZJlY/zNDRqi9HexERosyNWhzlR9 bW9sXwXa9wEQWaLXaGxwiXuzMFOCHsYe9jj2EG4kKcPVr87fVtYw/03UzNtVdl5u rT957hf4zyN3YxKDkHQKU9rLvhGAOl8vLQq5WfSQBxZob1mB4Z6/pugiJ669pHiA pEIjeXYPNoTe0F3Fn+7THde0M6lRMh1MBK0iDb13TfOcou8VA0fGzH8xcCpt6AB/ zXCj61g8e0nKBbBU0xTBSeMT3EATSJA6pled3YZkDoAAiRqh3N6SxwBXFdnzqpwT Z8sBaPzwMvIwbae48GeT1aoUzHhW4COX+CMhur/ogdDfQ3AWNZsuCvBPy5BTA8UK OeRmql8Ifsd5CuM1KFGGJMRw0Fg04ATd1R2RORGnfLScw3im9WF7rHGDJaD8a0li 1qm2IUJ5zh7K1h5wRZgKSJjw4Ab2hudqQmgoeHIHEzKd/c4yCNLjQP/EpsXIOagG A8UsbqnEZ391XwiPcxRAjGF7Tw6Jq6pKfHCo+08v5Y+YUgCgn0MU8XTOHFF7I9UA h90OkBLye4c0eUmyYZUzt8wfELRThr9ikrhvBnVqvbJ7sVxx2W2K9/KP8A/iXBrc eqnxPgYW64U+k1MGdtIyzanjkZwdNLe9Fhkoc1KCa8TZFSyCmS9/3XaslgshJ1pr nbrGjzb6jQOthta8m8th =kx4/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
