A Git Repository for Code::Blocks (ONLY trunk)

[Loaden]

Hi, All, I am created a git repository for Code::Blocks.
Until now It's only include trunk, from rev1~rev7094 :
https://www.gitorious.org/codeblocks/

Step 1:
git clone git://gitorious.org/codeblocks/codeblocks.git CodeBlocks

Step 2:
git config svn-remote.svn.url http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/codeblocks
git config svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
You can change the url as you want. ^_^

Step 3:
Unzip the svn.7z, and put it on CodeBlocks/.git directory.
http://portablecb.googlecode.com/files/svn.7z

Step 4:
git svn fetch
git svn rebase

Enjoy!

If somebody has better way, please let's me know, thanks!!

Does it work OK/reliably on windows?

well we can also come up with reasons why it is not better ;-)

Main thing to think about : what is currently blocking us with svn, and as such needs to be solved asap.

SVN for CB works well until now.
I created this repository, just because I like Git.
Especially:
1. Cheap Local Branching
2. Everything is Local

From what I remember a year ago the GUI tools were really awful and ugly (old tcl/tk stuff look and feel from in the early 90's) [and they were not stable].

Personally I really missed the version tree. The spaghetti tree of git is just too confusing to me. Nothing like a real nice version tree per file. But maybe this exists in the meantime ?

[oBFusCATed]

Git is made to be used from the console and it is way better then svn+console.

I've tried git-svn when I started work on the debugger's branch and it was good until the point where I've to generate the patches.
I should try it again to see if committing works

What is version tree?

[killerbot]

a version tree, is a graphical tree *per element (file/directory)* that shows you the revisions in a tree model. You can click on the node for comparison, to see the chane commit messages.
basically a nice graphical overview on what has happened to a certain file. branching is also visible in the tree (a tree has native support for branches ;-) ), and so on

You can use gitk to make a patch. In first, you need commit in a branch.

[oBFusCATed]

I can make patches with the cmd line tools and I've done so.
The problem was that the generated patch was broken (not applicable), because of the $rev/$author variables used in C::B sources.


p.s. This are pretty useless by the way (probably only for the SDK headers), svn blame is way better...

You can use TortoiseGIT+msys-git combination. They are as good as TortoiseSVN.

is there also something similar like kdesvn ?

Not sure which feature you are looking for.
