Ok, so I thought I had a process for committing to Apache git that works. But, since I can't seem to cleanly submit to the mobile-spec repo I am going to publicly admit my ignorance and ask for clarification.
My local clone of mobile spec was a mess so I created it again. I cloned my fork of apache-cordova-mobile-spec - this gives me a remote named origin I create a remote named apache to https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cordova-mobile-spec.git pull apache master to get everything up to date push origin master so that is up to date fetch origin mediaErr (an existing branch with work I want to commit) - that creates a mediaErr branch on my local clone checkout mediaErr log -5 to verify the log shows the commit I want to push to master checkout master merge mediaErr push apache master - this commits my media change with the original date (March 20) and the commit comment shows "merge branch mediaErr". Is this right? Not sure how else I would have gotten the media change committed? Should I have created a new comment? any explanation appreciated, -becky
