Following the test procedure, I get as far as this command: svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/tags/1.1.0/tmp/couchdb/tag/1.1.0
Obviously, we can't instruct people to do this any more, because we use Git. What should we replace this step with? We need a quick and painless way to check out the tag into a temporary directory. Ideally, whatever we recomend shouldn't rely on the user already having a clone of the main repository. Current suggestions from Paul: git archive v1.2.9 | tar -C /tmp/new/path -xv Problem: It requires you to do this from an existing clone, which will be a pain to set up if you don't have one. And if you do have one, you will need to make sure it is up to date. Lots of potential for problems, errors, or hassle. wget http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=snapshot;h=e37148e14bdaf88a0a568edbade6cf9101afb4af;sf=tgz Problem: Requires you to substitute the commit hash of the tag, which will be awkward and error prone. Any other ideas?
