On a machine of a user who never checked out features/chat2 before, the first
command would fail, wouldn't it ?
Don't you need to create first the branch locally, with smth like
git checkout -b features/chat2
or
git branch features/chat2
then the reset command ? (that forces the local branch to copy the status of
the remote one)
Btw, Vincent, if you like, please, have a look at features/chat2 and provide
comments. That seems pretty usable now.
One issue I'm aware of is: in case the user creates multiple views (File->New
Window), and starts the chat in multiple windows, I want a per-GuiView instance
of the whole chat machinery. However, as of now, the chat is actually a kind of
single-ton (there's only one instance of QxmppClient for the whole LyX
process). Do I need to modify the GuiView interface to allow for retrieval of
this View-specific chat instance ? I need that because I have two independent
panels (the buddies list on the left and the chat bar on the bottom) that have
to be tied together.... per-view.
Any advise ?
Thx.
T.
