Not even Martin, it's an automatic sync, currently every 4 hours (I think) for the src repository, of course this could be changed. > > >> Pushing to CVS, I use 'git diff' to generate a diff and email it to a >> willing victim :) If Curt (or someone else) was willing to accept it, >> I'd happily use 'git-format-patches' to generate mail-friendly >> patches >> and fill up his Inbox - that's how the kernel developers work it. >> >> When my patches are applied to CVS, Martin's mirror updates and I >> pull >> - so I know when my changes are 'in', because git-diff returns >> 'nothing'. > > What if I have write access to the CVS repository ?

I'll have to defer to others who know better than I - what I expect to be possible would be for Martin's mirror to be bi-directional - pushing to CVS as well as pulling. At that point the set of people with write access to the git-proxy also get 'CVS access' implicitly as well, which obviously needs agreement from Curt. The correct model, I think, is that there's a CVS (or SVN) server, with a repository, and a git repository. People sync with (and commit to) whichever they have permissions for, and prefer to use, and git has specific features internally to keep the two in sync. I have some vague impression that this works even better with SVN than with CVS, but I'll let Martin and Melchior speak in detail about it. Unrelated - I used git to sync up my laptop with my local FG git repo this morning (over ssh) - spectacularly quick, and my local branches just appear, with history and so on. Git rocks. :) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
