Hi Daniel and others, > it would really great if you switched to git. it would be way easier > for us to integrate your changes (and for you to integrate ours).
I'll consider it, but don't really want to spend time learning the fine points of git. As department co-chair and new father I have very little spare time and I'd rather code than learn how to manage code. If I switched the CVS repository on Sourceforge to a GIT repository still on sourceforge, and kept using it in the same way, i.e. just doing my own commits at my pace and essentially ignoring the rest of the world, would that be useful to you? (I guess it'd save you from reimporting the cvs into your git, instead making it just a git pull or clone or whatever it's called from the "official" repo into yours?) The two things I feel strongly about: - the "official" repo should be on sourceforge and not on github or any other platform; - for now I want to keep control over the "official" repo, and don't trust others to make changes to the main branch; - I'm not going to learn any fancy git tricks for the time being, but using git as a basic linear repository should be within my abilities... About integrating others' changes: given the amount of coding errors I find in the patches I integrate, I'm going to continue reviewing all code line by line before merging anything, and patch files are actually what I work from...
