Hey hey,
I've written some code to allow one or more bookmarked versions to be
tagged from the bookmarks buffer. You run `M-x tla-bookmarks-tag' and
it prompts you for a tag name and creates a tag of the revision under
the point. If you have marked multiple bookmarks, it prompts you for a
tag revision for each one. I haven't committed anything yet because I
know we're not really looking to add new features at the moment.
Any suggestions for a key binding for this? In `tla help' it comes
under "branching and merging" so I wondered about 'M t', but that isn't
very mnemonic.
Actually, the reason I'm thinking about this is because I'm
contemplating writing some sort of quick tutorial introduction to Xtla.
Nothing fancy; just some screenshots and descriptions of some common
tasks like:
* adding a bookmark
* creating a tag from a bookmark and making them partners
* getting a working tree for your branch
[hack hack]
* reviewing your changes
* checking for missing patches
* committing your changes
* etc.
Often I'll want to see what something can do before I'll bother
installing it for myself, so I thought it would be nice to have some
sort of crash course to Xtla. Much like the Arch primer at
http://repose.cx/.
Currently there doesn't seem to be a way of creating a tag from a
bookmark, but it seems like something you'd often want to do (bookmark
an interesting project, create your own branch, add the original as a
partner, look for missing patches, etc.).
So, after much waffling I have three questions:
* Is there any interest in this sort of tutorial?
* If yes, would anyone mind me adding this new feature?; and, most
importantly
* Got any good ideas for key bindings? :o)
