Thought I'd chime in here, as I've been going through the git transition pains myself recently, and the other answers have been all about the "what" and not the "why" of the task. Git adds an extra level of indirection that you're not used to: the cvs/svn model of the world had only one repository

Here's a dumb git question. Previously with cvs or svn, if I inadvertently removed a file, or screwed up a file really badly and just wanted to start clean with the repository version, I could just remove the file and run "cvs/svn update" and the missing file would be noticed, and the system would

Things have certainly changed. Back in 1995 I was helping to run a Virtual American Airlines and after 4 or so months of operating actively (FS95 it was!) we got a letter stating we had to shut down immediately or start paying licensing costs, which were thousands per day if I recall correctly

Don't bother asking Willie on this. Willie is quite happy with the New Features forum for now. I haven't posted there yet but intend to be punting GSoC quite heavily there soon. Just how I go about this will be influenced by replies I get from another ongoing thread in flightgear-devel. This i

Hi Pete, what exactly would be the advantage of this over the New Features forum? I see you've posted redirects in a couple of topics, so I would like to ask for your motives. Spreading discussion over yet another spot doesn't make things better and defenitely won't speed up discussions... Chee
