Git to CodePlex

Well, it works, finally.

I had major issues getting commits to work. Eventually I figured out that git-svn does not send hashes of the files as all other SVN clients that I have tested so far. I was focused on finding corruption much earlier in the game, and drowned in the details.

I am not sure why it is committing a single change twice, but it is showing the same behavior on standard SVN servers, so I think that I am fine.

And here is the final test:

:-D

I thought you didn't like distributed scm? (http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/2008/04/30/I-dont-like-distributed-source-control.aspx)

I thought you were going back to svn now Josh. :D

Oren, it looks like you are using msysgit from the screenshots. In case you haven't seen this: http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/8240da55a76f8c92

I suspect you may not care a great deal, but it is something you may want to watch.

I still don't.
But that is a highly visible feature, which made it reasonable to implement.

Lee,
Good to know. I don't care myself, but now I have git support, it is the fault of the git toolset, not mine if there are problems.

FWIW "I don't care myself [...] it is the fault of the git toolset, not mine if there are problems" is _exactly_ the reason why I regret _big time_ having started msysGit.

I never would have expected such a distateful mindset in Windows users, but there you are.

Dscho,
Do you follow the context?
I don't much care for git. I am building a tool that helps interact with SCM.
As such, git was in my test matrix. Since it passed the tests that I needed to, it means that from the point of view of the tool, I am cool with git support.
From the point of view of msysGit, _it is not interesting to me_, therefore I'll not bother about it.
Nothing to do with windows users. It is the same approach I use for everything else.

"Distasteful mindset" is more than a bit harsh for someone who simply doesn't think he's obliged to follow up on bugs of tools he doesn't use.
Is this supposed to be a tit-for-tat response to OSS users who offend maintainers for not doing as they wish?
