Hi, I wanted to announce my project metagit[1], which I started a few weeks ago. It is a python program, which allows you to manage many scm repositories at once, e.g. pull all repositories, that are matched by a given regex. Before you can use it ... [More] you have to define a set of repositories. This can either be accomplished by defining them one by one, or you can use a repo lister. One good example of a repo lister is the SSHDir lister. It performs a find on a remote server within a given directory and adds all the repositories there to your repo set. There is also a lister to get all your github repos (or gitorious). But metagit isn't narrowed to git as scm. At this point it also gives you the possibility to use mercurial as scm backend and you can clone your damned fucked SVN repo with git-svn (with the externals, if you wish). The configuration is just a python script, where you can use the power of python to define your repositories, and no package is used that isn't shipped with python (at minimum python 2.5 (it workes perfectly with debian stable)). You can also define policies which of your defined repos (or listers) show up on a machine (this is done by a regex against the fqdn). If you have any wish what metagit should also be able to do, write me a mail, write a issue at github or fork it :-) greetz didi [1] http://github.com/stettberger/metagit -- (λ x . x x) (λ x . x x) -- See how beatiful the lambda is No documentation is better than bad documentation -- Das Ausdrucken dieser Mail wird urheberrechtlich verfolgt.

Announcing Git for Windows 1.7.3.1. This now is available for download at http://msysgit.googlecode.com/ Git for Windows Release Notes (Git-1.7.3.1-preview20101002) Last update: 2 October 2010 Introduction These release notes describe issues ... [More] specific to the Git for Windows release. General release notes covering the history of the core git commands are included in the subdirectory doc/git/html of the installation directory. Look for files starting with RelNotes. Known issues - Some commands are not yet supported on Windows and excluded from the installation; namely: git archimport, git cvsexportcommit, git cvsimport, git cvsserver, git instaweb, git shell. - The Logitec QuickCam software can cause spurious crashes. See "Why does make often crash creating a sh.exe.stackdump file when I try to compile my source code?" on the MinGW Wiki (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Environment_issues) - The Quick Launch icon will only be installed for the user running setup (typically the Administrator). This is a technical restriction and will not change. - curl uses $HOME/_netrc instead of $HOME/.netrc. - If you want to specify a different location for --upload-pack, you have to start the absolute path with two slashes. Otherwise MSys will mangle the path. - git and bash have serious problems with non-ASCII file names (Issue 80, 159). - If configured to use plink, you will have to connect with putty first and accept the host key. - As merge tools are executed using the MSys bash, options starting with "/" need to be handled specially: MSys would interpret that as a POSIX path, so you need to double the slash (Issue 226). Example: instead of "/base", say "//base". Also, extra care has to be paid to pass Windows programs Windows paths, as they have no clue about MSys style POSIX paths -- You can use something like $(cmd //c echo "$POSIXPATH"). Changes since Git-1.7.2.3-preview20100911 New Features - Comes with Git 1.7.3.1 plus patches. - Updated to Vim 7.3, file-5.04 and InnoSetup 5.3.11 Bugfixes - Issue 528 (remove uninstaller from Start Menu) was fixed - Issue 527 (failing to find the certificate authority bundle) was fixed - Issue 524 (remove broken and unused sdl-config file) was fixed - Issue 523 (crash pushing to WebDAV remote) was fixed -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html [Less]

Hello, I had a personal itch to import Microsoft Team Foundation Server repositories into a Git repository. I wrote a small Powershell script and released this on Github at http://github.com/WilbertOnGithub/TFS2GIT I also wrote a small article ... [More] about its usage at http://walkingthestack.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/importing-a-tfs-repository-into-a-git-repository-using-powershell/ This is the very first version and my first Powershell script, i.e. it works on my machine. You will need to modify it if you want to import your own repositories. This is explained in the above article. I'm hoping this can convince other Team Foundation users to start using Git ;-) -- Kind regards, Wilbert van Dolleweerd Blog: http://walkingthestack.wordpress.com/ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/wvandolleweerd [Less]

They now show all, in a format that is easier to read. * "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option. * Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more relevant context than before. * diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff", "status", etc.) at the superproject level. * http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your restrictive firewall. * "git rebase --strategy " learned "-X" option to pass extra options that are understood by the chosen merge strategy. * "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet to run a command between its steps. * "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do not conflict should be faster. * "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as if you gave --autosquash from the command line. Also contains various documentation updates. Fixes since v1.7.2 ------------------ All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this release, unless otherwise noted. * "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well. * "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+". * "git fetch $url" (i.e. without refspecs) was broken for quite some time, if the current branch happen to be tracking some remote. * "git ls-tree dir dirgarbage", when "dir" was a directory, incorrectly recursed into "dir". * "git note remove" created unnecessary extra commit when named object did not have any note to begin with. * "git rebase" did not work well if you had diff.noprefix configured. * "git -c foo=bar subcmd" did not work well for subcmd that is not implemented as a built-in command.
